Been around for ages. Mostly Triang was the affordable choice of a large British migrant population. Australian outline is becoming more popular now that there are several mainstream manufacturers.
The trackbed is made of a series of very very small electromagnets, which can be switched between N, S and off polarities. Each piece of rollingstock has its own permanent magnet in it's base, to interact with the trackbed. To move, each electromagnet in the trackbed is rapidly switched between N, S and O(off), so that the north polarity "moves" along the trackbed, like so: 1. N-S-O-N-S-O > 2. O-N-S-O-N-S > 3. S-O-N-S-O-N > And the wagons / trains are attracted to the north, and repelled from the south, so they keep moving with the magnetic 'current'.
Awesome footage and layouts..thanks for sharing matey.. cheers
Great compilation of footage! And again, big thanks for coming by, filming, and sharing my layout :)
Cheers and no worries! Great to see the layout again.
Great video mate, great coverage
What a wonderful video!! Nice to see 00 in use in Australia!!

Lovely video I did the Tait set last year
how does the t gauge work again?
From what I understand, it utilises linear motors under the tracks, where the rolling stock linked to the motors by magnets.
