Does anyone sell a rerailer that works with the track in bachmann sets ??
           thanks

Dear JT,

Aristo-Craft 11350,

if you remove the black blades from the Bachmann G tracks that touch the rerailer. 

To remove the blades, turn the Bachmann track over, and look for the bent up tabs cut from the rails near the center tie.  Gently bend the tabs up to match the profile of the rail, then slide the rail away from the blade.  When the rail clears the blade, lift the blade out. 

Save the blade for future use.  (I store mine under the tie, with a piece of black electrical tape wrapped around the tie.)

Slide the rail back and gently bend the rail tabs to hold it in place. 

You will need some other method to hold the tracks together, as the Bachmann plastic clips will not work with the Aristo rerailer.  I use 2 rubber bands per joint, though there is probably a more elegant way to do it. 

Hope this helps. 

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.
