Question by bluefroggy: How can you remove sand from the end of a magnetic toy train?

I have pinched as much of the sand off that I can, but is there anything else I can do to get the sand off and restore the magnetic power? Thanks for your help.

Question by AJ Rose: How can you build a model steam engine from scratch? Is it even possible?
I have always been interested in steam trains, and since I can’t fit a real steam train in my room, (I am just a kid!) I would like to know how to build a model steam engine. Not the train part, just the engine that actually boils water and turns a wheel. Like one that would fit on a 6 inch long piece of plywood. My dad and I are always in the garage on weekends building some sort of contraption! So if it’s a challenge, we’re up for it! I would like full detail please! Thanks!
