It has proved impossible to find a direct replacement of the industrial solenoids used for the Mk I magnet. After much searching a different but suitable alternative has been sourced. The DC resistance of the Mk II magnet, at 8.5 Ohms, is lower than the Mk I magnet (14 Ohms) but still significantly higher than the 3.7 - 3.8 Ohms of alternative products.
The Dingham electromagnets are based on industrial-quality solenoids, which are modified by fitting an extended pole-piece, to reach through the baseboard to the level of the sleeper tops. The maximum thickness of baseboard that can be accommodated without recessing underneath is 12.5mm or 1/2in. The DC resistance Dingham electromagnets is approximately 8.5 Ohms, which is substantially higher than the 3.7 - 3.8 Ohms of alternative products. This means that Dingham electromagnets take a current of less than 1.5 Amps on 12 Volts DC. They are therefore much less likely to burn out if misused and are also less likely to cause switches to burn out. For
