All I can say is Yikes!
Although the loads look great, they may be dangerous on a Model Layout.
Using Ferrous materials like Steel Wool and other metal shavings could be a real problem.
Permanent Magnet motors in your locomotives can pick up these bits and pieces if they have a chance.
Then the bits of metal will work their way into the gears and the motor itself.... Crunch! Grind!!!
