Nickel silver track and gray roadbed 1/card The terminal rerailer is connected via terminal wires to a power pack which provides current to power the layout. In addition to making power connections the terminal rerailer is also designed to correct derailments that sometimes occur during normal railroad operations. It can also be used to help properly align wheels on the track when first assembling a train for operation. If you want to use the rerailer to help place cars on the track you should install it so that it is easily accessible. Otherwise it should be installed after a difficult section of track (turnout crossing "S" curve etc.) where derailments may occur. Also available in the E-Z Track® system is a 9" Straight Rerailer (Nickel Silver 2 per card Item No. 44528) if you need a rerailer but do not need to make power connections.
