I once put a 30" length of railroad rail on top of my TV. You know, a
bachelor's idea of home decorating. It sat there for a few years, and
never caused any problem with the picture.

When I finally moved it, the color blotches were horrible. But the
external degaussing coil cleared it right up.

Did it have a loco or two on the track? with permanent magnets in
the motors?

Real loco motors (i.e., traction motors) don't have magnets. Use field
coils.


Oh, I thought we were talking about model railway track - I doubt he
could have got a 'Real Loco' on top of his TV

Why whould you put a length of... oh never mind (I used to have a
conrod and piston on top of mine)

Yeah, real track. 50 or 100 lbs. of steel, I don't remember quite how
heavy it was.

OT: You gotta hand it to Lionel's founder, Joshua Lionel Cowen. A real
marketing genius. He referred to the real trains on which his toys were
modeled as "prototypes."
