Hi,
I'm new to N gauge but fiddling with OO gauge screws and locations is bad enough! Can anyone recommend a suitable magnetic screwdriver?
Thanks

Get a decent set of jewellers screwdrivers (not the really cheap sets).   Personally I sometimes find magnetic screwdriver bits annoying, and anyway they don't work on brass screws and other non-ferrous.  I just use a tiny drop of pva on the tip, if necessary.

Agree with all of the above, including finding magnetic screwdrivers mildly annoying.

And welcome to the NGF, by the way!

I make my own when needed.  Either magnetise the screw driver by stroking the metal shaft with a neodymium "super" magnet or by placing a small neodymium magnet on the metal shaft(near where the handle joins the shaft to keep it away from any bits it will stick to).

I find a bit of spit on the end of the screwdriver will allow the screw to be picked up 9 times out of 10.

Tacky wax works for me, dip srewdriver tip in the wax, screws will hold wipe it off when done. Usually stocked in model  and craft shops as well as Amazon .

Thanks to all who replied, very useful info.

I suppose waxy capacitors are few and far between these days, @Bealman ?

I    used   a   trimmed   wooden    cocktail   stick   to   start   the   screw   then     a    small    screwdriver   to   finish   the     job,
