I think I`ll give this a go but am I right in thinking that when you slide the coil of wire over the magnet the north of the coil faces the south of the magnet ?

I'm interested to see how you get on with Argus's idea.

This is a common problem with the motors on Hornby 3 rail doublo locos. Of course neodymium magnets work in that case (in place of the original magnet), I suppose because it is a simple rectangular magnet with a north pole on one side and a south pole on the other. The focus magnet is a doughnut shape of course, so trying to add magnets at the side would no doubt result in uneven focus.
