I own not a single patent.
But I know when I showed at a FREMO meeting in 1987 my manual operated push-pull turnout actuation, no one had seen it before.
And when I showed my operating gates at Naumburg it was new too.
And it's good to see in which way others develop this idea. I like to look under the modules at FREMO meetings.

Great idea!! Hope you don't own the patent....
There's never time to do it right, but always time to do it over.....
markpierceWolfgang, received your railroad pass the other day. Very nice. Since my GF has relatives in Limburg less than 100 miles south of you, I may have an opportunity some time to make use of it. Mark (whose own pass, still available for exchange, is for a now-abandoned layout)

Great, I'm waiting to meet you. And we can run some trains.
Very nifty, Wolgang. The rails are wide of gauge and then narrow slowly to force the wheels up onto the rails, but they are helped with the stripwood inserted between the rails as they come to gauge.
I had a scratched rerailer built on my first layout, and it was part of a grade crossing. I just carved the various pieces of stripwood so that they closely mimicked the plastic EZ-Track rerailer/terminal section. I don't mind saying it worked reasonably well.
Nice video, Wolfgang, and of course the layout is exceptional.

Great idea. That looks great, it integrates into your layout nicely.
Great job Wolfgang. I've got a homemade rerailer that looks very similar to that and works just as good.

markpierceAlright! Now share your secret.
What do you mean? There's no secret.
Alright! Now share your secret.
Now I've finished my fiddle yard. A fiddle yard needs a rerailer. Here's the video.
