1. You can have magnet-operated dump cars that work fine, but do not use the auxiliary rails on the operating track.
2. The fact that your other accessories are dimming indicates that you might have either too small a power source or too much resistance in the circuit wiring.
3. Do the accessories dim when just the magnet is energized without an operating car over the track?
Operating cars with sliding shoes draw extra power since current flows simultaneously through the magnet in the track and through the solenoid inside the car.
