I also purchased a 623 this year and I love it!
However, it does not have much magnetism left. I had a Magne-Traction engine back in the 1950's and I know that my current 623 engine needs help.
I found an OGR post from a couple of years ago that said, "The magnetized axles loss their properties more easily and are more difficult to maintain/service." Another post said, "It takes a whole 20 seconds to charge the magnets!"
So, is there someone in California that charges Magne-Traction engines or is it something I could do myself?
