Silverline Magnetiser/Demagnetiser 50 x 50 x 30mm (245116)

Product Information

Alternately, if the building of it a project you want to do... you could start looking at this article for a relatively home-brewed machine - they are quite substantial.

A more cost effective approach would be to look into the possibility of replacing the magnetic material with one of the Neodymium type. They are available in a host of different shapes and sizes. The cost is modest and because of their strength a smaller magnet can be employed thus making it easier to make the modifications needed fit into the original motor volume. Ihave listed this as “used condition” as it is a homemade article, but all the parts are new and it’s only use has beenin testing and proving the product.A great piece of kit from a wonderful chap who went to great lenghts to show me how it worked, re-mag'd my ailing horse-shoe Atholl and also showed me his HD layout as well- wow! Hi Derek I see you got yours they are excellent I have worked my way through my loco's what a difference it makes to the running of them Ron was suprised to hear that he no longer makes them as he still does make them someone spreads a rumour and how how it spreads ! " I have made a couple of videos to demonstrate it’s use on YouTube please follow the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyyPKCHa0gQ or search for Hornby Dublo magnetiser. You will also be able to see my Hornby Dublo service videos and my extensive layout. By following my service videos and with the use of a good magnetiser your trains should run at least as well as the day they left the factory.

Worth watching all of Ron Dodds videos, the magnetic direction is important, my pole pieces already have strong magnetic force so getting the magnet the right way is easy they attract, providing of course they don't get put in the wrong way, they are marked. The second looks cheaper and I have seen a caution from an engineer who found the Neodymium ones were so strong that they made the motor jerky at low speers. I think the deal now doesn't include the multi-meter but as they are as cheap as chips and I already have one then not an issue as it's still incredibly cheap at twice the price. No more sending off for an 'expert' to do the business or having to use neos soI'm now off to remove all my neos and reinstate the originals. I usually replace dodgy magnets with a pair of 6mm cube neodymium magnets* padded with a couple of steel washers. A full sized neo. is too strong in my opinion, but I calculated this size should have roughly the same strength as an original magnet and seems to work OK. (3-4 times as strong will require roughly a quarter of the area.) My loco collection is quite small at 7 so I tend to use neo magnets when the originals begin to fade as it's cheaper than having to send them off to a specialist restorer. However as neos can cause greater wear and tear to the bearings and my collection will probably expand over time I'm wondering if Ron may be willing/able to oblige possibly?Magnetic filtration has dramatically cleaned up our fluids and improved the surface finish we can offer. It extracts around 50Kg per day of ferrous waste." The news that Ron's demagnetiser is no more is totally false as I just collected mine from him this afternoon (he lives very local).
