Loek Bronkhorst |
Loek is the inventor of the Magnorail System with its first showing in 2012 on his layout Hezelpoort 1927 which sees the first bicycle pedalling along road. His most recent layout Blokpost 13 features several Magnorail Systems |
Hezelpoort 1927 HO Scale exhibition layout https://youtu.be/J_gJjwjzNCY Blokpost 13 shows what you can do in N scale with an inflatable boat on the canal, dual highway, tractors in the background and a jet flying overhead, cars driving along the country road as well as an intercity trains flying along the front. https://youtu.be/Czwre2RPkhM A second video from different angle https://youtu.be/d_T9uYI09Qs |
David Hoogvorst |
David was a founding partner in Magnorail and responsible for the web design and engineering of the system. He also runs the AnyRail Track Planning software (www.anyrail.com) |
The Magnorail exhibition layout showed off the HO scale bicycles which were the main feature in the early stages of Magnorail's story. https://youtu.be/IzE7jhDvOeU |
Arno Otten |
Arno was the logistics person on the Magnorail team and also the cad cam designer for the design of the dies for manufacturing the various parts that make up the kits. |
The making of the N scale layout highlighting the versatility of Magnorail, with canoeists as well as the Landrover Scenario, is described in full on the Magnorail Web site.

Fabienne & Thierry Francois |
The Francois family are the proud owners of Magnorail and as such are committed to growing the user base by attending exhibitions all over Europe whilst at the same time designing new equipment such as the power supply plus new 3D printed cyclists. |
This video taken at an exhibition shows Thierry (in French) being interviewed and displaying the Magnorail System https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDFvLGsgfeg&list=PLdP2sBMWFOh3oVGJuEm6XqGnZIuxeAtEU&index=46&t=2s |
John Wardley |
John's creative background in theatre and industry comes to the fore with his skills applied to his Magnorail installations. Currently The Accident and The Magic Garage are the epitome of the craft of a Master Magnorail Magician and have set the bar very high for aspiring Magnorail Magicians. Check out the Wikipedias entry for John and be impressed! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wardley |
The Accident! https://youtu.be/ClEqYktvcOM The Making of The Accident https://youtu.be/ivhFLcfcCv8 The Magic Garage https://youtu.be/CKTmopWJG8w The Making of The Magic Garage https://youtu.be/CKTmopWJG8w |
Luke Towan |
Luke is a Master Model Diorama and Model Maker who approached MagnorailOz after seeing a Magnorail video for the first time. He applied his skills to create realistic layout/diorama incorporating a small Magnorail System. His movie skills in capturing the scene in natural outdoor settings creates such a magical, believable scene. |
The complete making of Luke's Magnorail Layout can be found in the video linked below. https://youtu.be/TbPbz5NiDqw |
Graham Foulston |
Graham has depicted his own village on his Lakeside Village layout. Using the Magnorail System he has added that bit of MAGIC with he and his wife cycling around the village with their dog sitting in the bicycle basket. |
Graham's YouTube Channel documents his building of Lakeside Village @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ47e0Ai411n2iOhvWCQiVA You can view his tribute video for this award @ https://youtu.be/yc7mlOW-YmE |
Robert McPhail |
Robert has an extensive layout and in one section he built a car factory where vehicles were built then shipped from the plant by rail. With his very creative mind he has used some Magnorail Magic to have the completed vehicles leave the factory in convoy, mount a loading ramp and into the awaiting car carriers to start the journey. |
Roberts YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/csxmad/featured) has a wealth of information on a large range of modelling techniques as well as a playlist on the building of the factory and the Magnorail circuit. His tribute summary video for this award can be found at https://youtu.be/ZOGS4B_WFp4. |
Cesare Villa |
Cesare is our first Magnorail Magician to be promoted from Class 1 to Master. Cesare has shown a high level of professionalism in both his production of his second Magnorail application in his Lemax village but also in his documenting of the process in a clear and easily understood video. Lemax collectors and hobbyists are used to buying complete animated sets, but the Magnorail System allows them to be more creative and add extra magic and Cesare has shown them how! |
Cesares' tribute video can be found on our YouTube channel here https://youtu.be/03DIHbA0kUs His own web site has a host of more things Lemax as well as other videos he has produced. A great resource for the Lemax fraternity. https://minivillages.altervista.org |
David Weedon |
David has created a cameo scene on a New Zealand hillside of his layout "North of Auckland" wherein a vintage tractor chugs up to a gate and it is opened for him then traverses the track up the incline and units return toots its horn to get his mate to open the gate again. Highly detailed and a great application of of Arduino technology and the Magic of Magnorail! |

Robert Ginn |
Robert has been upgraded from 1st Class Magician to Master Magician for his work on his Leisure World layout. He has shown initiative and creativity with his ski jump and ski slope with snowboarders and skiers using the Magnorail System. -Well Done Robert! |

Brian from Adelaide |
Brian is one of the Magnorail Family that sees problem and keeps working away at it until it's resolved. It was always thought that Magnorail was confined to the inner or outer sections of a layout, but Brian has proven that the Magnorail System can now cross rail tracks at level crossings with ease. In cracking this, Brian has been awarded the title of Master Magnorail Magician for his ingenuity in ringing the concept to fruition. |

Hans Fengel |
Hans is an acclaimed modeller with many years experience in bringing realistic scale models to life. His use of the Magnorail System in his clubs modular layout, shows how a small scene can bring what is basically a transition section of a much larger layout , to life. His instructive video also details how he integrated the Magnorail System into his modular section. A worthy recipient of Master Magnorail Magician! |
