How To Upgrade Lionel's Mail Pickup Set - Cheap And Fun!

This is a new in the box Lionel Trains #6-12729 Operating Mail Pickup Set for O gauge. These were cataloged from 1988 to 1991, then again in 1995. They are reissues of the Lionel #161 Mail Pickup set that was cataloged from 1961 to 1963. Based on the graphics, I’d say this is the late 1980s version. While there is little difference between the 1960s and 1980s versions, the originals can fetch $100 or more in Excellent condition, while the reissues can be found new - like this one - for under $25. So, if you’re an operator, go for the newer version.

Can I mount a magnet INSIDE the car AND increase the necessary distance between the car and the accessory?
