Pitsco’s redesigned Maglev II Track gives you two options: regular or electrifying!
The track still offers magnetic levitation that can be powered by gravity or a battery-operated maglev vehicle. But now it also enables you to apply an electric current to the track to power a vehicle – just like a real maglev train.
Just attach a positive lead to one side of the track and a negative lead to the other, turn on DC power, and away your maglev vehicle goes. This also enables you to control the vehicle’s speed by adjusting the power level.
Constructed of sturdy aluminum, the two 4' track sections combine to create an 8' track. Requires some assembly. You can apply an electric current to the Maglev II Track using the Maglev E Track Power Supply (37797), sold separately. We do not recommend any other DC power source.
