This video provides information regarding how to build an affordable tool/gauge to measure magnet downforce. I had contact cement and scrap flashing steel already so the total build cost was the cost of the scale. If your not sure the steel flashing sheet you need to buy will attract a magnet, just take a magnet to the store and test it before your purchase.

Interesting. I too am back in hobby after a 55 year break. Since, I grew up without magnets, I have been taking the traction magnets out most of the time. Not all. What agreat way to see how the magnets are paired. Great stuff here. - I kept my cars too! All this time. Ran em a couple of times on my kids Tyco layout, but that was it. Having a blast.

why is the measurement a positive 2.30 and not negative?

@akoporc 5 месяцев назад

That was a real good catch. I watched the video closely and did see it was not negative. I just set up the unit and tested the same car and got the same results. I was stumped, when the car was sitting on the platform, but the pin was not in the hole, I got a negative reading, but when the pin was in the hole, I got a positive reading. A little thought and examination, I realize that this particular car used a non-OEM pin, which seems to be just a little bit longer than an OEM AFX pin. Long enough to actually be touching the top of the plate so it was pushing the plate down counteracting the car magnets trying to pull the plate up!
