Model Railroading > Magnalock Brake Lines

Good afternoon, all.

While I was on the Internet researching some new locomotives, I came across this website that advertises "magnalock" magnetic brake lines. Apparently it's supposed to bring your model train realism to a whole new level as the brake lines operate like real systems.

Check it out:

I am by no way affiliated with the company - I just thought it was a neat idea!

EDIT - I didn't find any information on this technology in searching the site - if it's a rehash I apologize.

I saw them advertised on the PWRS (Pacific Western Rail Systems) website. Also, Their installation video is on YOUTUBE. You'll have to do a search cuz I can't remember youtube address.

They cost about $2.50 per car, and would be excellent for the modeler with a small fleet of detailed equipment. Although I do wonder a bit about their suggested installations. Ideally I would try to find some plastic brake lines with a modeled angle cock, and then cut off the "hose" beyond the cock and replace it with these.

The rep from PWRS quoted me $34.50 / pack of twenty hoses. I inquired about bulk pack for more thsn 250 cars and the price was the same. Maybe he was quoting Canadian prices....

I think there may have been a miscommunication. They're $24.50 for a 20 pack.
