Thanks for the feedback and kind words. Some Facebook users asked how I attached the magnets so I thought I'd port it here as well. Magnet is glued to the paddle.

Chiming back in here. Personally I figured you would have had to glue them in place. The train couplers came to mind but you'd still have to replace and glue different magnets in place as the originally would be nothing like strong enough. I’m curious though, did you or flikr compress the video at all? There seems to be a certain jitteriness about the car's progress and I wonder if it's the video or the thickness of the plate causing the magnet to get ahead of the car.

What I’m thinking is that you could use a thinner piece of material instead of the base plates and build up the surrounding environment with bricks. Yes it would be less pure and maybe not look quite so Legoy, but could solve that jitter and still look as good as the effort you wind up putting into it. Well just an idea. Still love the thing any way.
