HOn3 rerailer - Graffen - 03-02-2018 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: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://youtu.be/jgubiwkIbvY">https://youtu.be/jgubiwkIbvY</a><!-- m --> <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://youtu.be/KNjXFsis_j4">https://youtu.be/KNjXFsis_j4</a><!-- m --> I think I'll make it available on my Shapeways store... Re: HOn3 rerailer - Charlie B - 03-02-2018 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. Charlie Re: HOn3 rerailer - Graffen - 03-03-2018 Thanks, I have uploaded it to Shapeways now. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.shapeways.com/product/M54VV6YUT/hon3-rerailer?optionId=64950183&li=shop-inventory">https://www.shapeways.com/product/M54VV ... -inventory</a><!-- m --> It has some changes made to minimize the materials used (to reduce cost). |
