Magnetic Chess Sets/Train Use

Question probably for uk viewers.
Any reccomondations for chess sets, small magnetic or peg maybe that can be used easily on a train journey ? Thereby fufilling the desperate need to study the game. positions, tactics etc. more !

I would suggest you buy a decent american magnetic chess set but since you want to hear from UK members only...
Go suck an egg!

Thank you so, so much.
The uk ref. was cos I'm in the uk and can't nip down to supermarket in the USA or elsewhere

Look at Chessmate.com on web. They have several quality sets. the one i have is of the magnetic flat variety that folds into a wallet size you can keep in your top pocket. I keep it by my bed so i guess you can use it on the train. Believe me, you can't just nip on down to the shop and buy one in U.S. either. The great advantage of the web is that you can see a variety of stuff from all over the world and buy what you like without tax surcharges or store overheads. Pure capitalism. All you have to worry about is postage and that can't be too much for such a small item. Good luck!

i bought a really nice wooden magnetic chess set from
http://www.magnategames.com/

it took about 7 days to arrive from the US and is a very nice quality set.
highly recommended.

Thanks to Buddy2 and e4effort fror your replies,
I shall delve into the websites and 'ave a look.
