Maglev Model Train being made

[maglev]

I have been hoping someone would make a Maglev model train set and I just noticed this...

I hope he gets the funding and actually gets this made. Would be cool to see it.

Tomy has already announced its "Linear Liner" maglev train set that they say will be on sale in September. Price: About $300.

Here are a couple of videos.
