The Atlas O 21st Century nickel-silver track won't work with Magnetraction for sure, although their steel track will.

 

Nickel-silver is a non-ferrous material, which means it has very low to virtually non-existant traces of iron in it, and that's what makes it non-magnetic.  The upside to nickel-silver is that it's much more corrosion-resistant than regular steel.  Instead of rusting like steel, the surface actually oxidizes, and that oxidization remains electrically conductive.
