O-27 Re-railer - Marx Friendly by jroberts227

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

When I saw wolverineboat's O27 re-railer, I knew I would be making one. More than one, in fact. However, as soon as I did, I realized I would need to do some work on it. I collect, repair, and operate Marx trains - both O scale and 3/16ths - and I could see that Marx wheel sets would not be able to pass through. After two weeks of fiddling and tweaking, 11 test prints, and a little bit of cussing, I think I have successfully designed a Marx friendly O27 re-railer. Marx O and 3/16ths wheels will pass through without any difficulty, and, perhaps just as importantly, it will re-rail trucks (at slower speeds, too fast and you would likely get air). Not only have I tested the O and S scale cars, but I have also moved through my 1998 diesel, my 999, 666, and 333. All without any problems. I will definitely be printing more of these and incorporating them into my layout.
