Finney and Smith sell new magnets for Triang motors, probably more effective than a re-magnetise. See

Now thinking - a 5 pole armature would be nice - none found, also finer scale wheels.
5 pole is a nono so better wheels would be a step.No telling me to get a Hornby new one - too expensive and this one is detailed, ride height corrected, wire hand rails, flush glazed, TOPs number (was D5572 now 31154 - needed Bath Road machines, my Airfix one is as well)
Now looking for an etched fan grill!

I thought Howes would do one, but nothing listed at a quick glance.
Still not running brilliantly - I think it is the pickups - those wheels are grotty
