HOn3 rerailer
#1
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... Smile

I model HO and I have 2. They are great when changing cars on the layout. Folks modeling the narrow gauge will be mighty happy when they see this is available.

It has some changes made to minimize the materials used (to reduce cost).
