Hi all, I have had a problem with putting my HOn3 locomotives and cars on the track.
On my standard gauge I used a plastic rerailer ramp.
It's a bit of an overhang on the narrow gauge equipment, so you can't easily grab the trucks to rerail them...
I heard that there was a commercially made rerailer ramp available, but I haven't seen one in many years.
I then designed this:


I designed it in Fusion 360 and printed it in PLA on my Wanhao Duplicator 4S.
It works really good:






I think I'll make it available on my Shapeways store...  :)

That's so cool!   Now if we can have some sort of re-railer that can upright our trains while running on the layout without stopping.  That would be even cooler! ;D  Thanx Thom...

Some of the best tools are the ones we make ourselves.  Great work.
