027 re-railing track?

[jwse30]

With the center rail, it's pretty difficult to derail a train without it tripping the circuit breaker on the transformer. HO trains don't have a center rail (except Marklin) or the car's axles to short to the outer rail, so the cars can be dragged while derailed for a little while.

If you are looking for one to make it easier to put the cars on the rails, Lionel makes a gizmo that acts like a ramp to help guide all the car's wheels onto the rails. It's about $10, or it was a few years ago when I bought mine. (it really helps out at the modular club when you have to put your whole train on the track quickly)

Hope this helps,

Never seen one but using the HO/n scale as a model and using wood it could be designed. May have to look into that myself as presently building a layout.

But on the other hand if your running tmcc/dcs I would think you would not want to attempt to get your cars rerailed as for the short there would be

Is there such a thing as a re-railing track section compatible with 027 track?  I have many such sections in HO (they look like vehicle crossings), and would appreciate same for my 027 layout.  Especially for those hard-to-reach or hidden areas (tunnels) where cars get derailed and stop a train cold.  Thanks!
