  5. Hi john Did you have a different pole either side? Regard mcrook62
  6. Hi John have ordered 50 magnets after see a guy on youtube in usa installing them and looking at your installation the only difference is he had thre one side and three the other side just showing at rail bottom level one per sleeper gap with a little bit of ballast over the top and as he has a large area covered by the magnets allows a better length of operation then trying to line up on 1 magnet you just need to be in range of the three with a little signpost showing where they are what do you think as I won't get mine until tomorrow. Regards Michael
