John Lee Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 The ones that have been featured in RCM&E a few times are available on EBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264290603230?hash=item3d88f290de:g:WJEAAOSwEppUMxLl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Fisher 1 Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 I will take a look John thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I can vouch for the quality of those magnetic blocks and the ease of use. Very strongly recommended. I bought 2 sets of 10 and a sheet of steel at a Cosford LMA show about 3 years ago and 10 more via the eBay site. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Stuck into the wooden blocks Andy. I’ve been using mine for a few years now and not had one fall out, yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 As Ron says, they're glued in and 10mm diameter. Seem to be very secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) See on ebay you can get 10mm diam magnets with pre drilled 3mm holes for approx £20 from the far east along with 100 piece children's building blocks for about £11. So may be a cheaper alternative given all you would need to do is drill a 10mm hole in each block. Edited July 7, 2021 by Andy Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
