I have several rerailer's from different mfg but none are long enough to load a steam loco along with its tender. I cannot find an extra long rerailer on the web. Anyone know of a really long rerailer? If I cannot find one, I plan to chop/merge some of my existing ones to make a unit long enough to load a steam loco and tender but I was hoping to find one already built. Paul D
I have one from Kato that is pretty long, but not long enough to set my challenger + tender on it. Nevertheless, I am able to use it for the long engine by holding the tender as I slide the loco down onto the track, then slide the tender down following the loco. It's easier than it sounds.
I have several from Kato also and they are the ones I like best among the various ones I have. Unless I find a super long one, I plane to splice two of the Kato together.
This is exactly what I do, though I usually slide the retailer out from under the loco once the main wheels are on track (traction tires).
