Where to install rerailer.

[nachoman]

Since there really is no prototype for a rerailer, your best bet is to put them where they will be useful, but mostly out of view. They do kinda look like a grade crossing, so you may want to try and disguise one as such, but even there they don't look that great. If you have a long tunnel, it may be nice to put one inside the tunnel just in case you have a derailment in the tunnel. Or perhaps place one in the corner of your layout or near where you normally place locomotives or cars on the rails. They do help a little when placing cars on the rails.

I've never put one on a layout - but they don't offer them in my gauge or rail size. If your track is laid correctly and your wheelsets are in gauge, you won't have many derailments anyway. I believe in fixing the cause of the derailment rather than placing something in the track that rerails the cars after they have derailed.
