The 160 - 44410 Bachmann E - Z Track rerailer is a great addition to your HO scale layout. It features a steel alloy track with a black roadbed, packed 1 per card. This terminal rerailer connects to a power pack via terminal wires, powering your layout. It's not just for power; it corrects derailments during normal operations and helps align wheels when assembling a train. If you plan to use it for placing cars on the track, install it within easy reach. Otherwise, put it after tricky track sections like turnouts, crossings, or 'S' curves. Also, the E - Z Track system offers a 9” straight rerailer in steel alloy if power connections aren't needed.

Using this rerailer is simple. First, connect it to a power pack using the terminal wires to power your layout. During normal railroad operations, if a derailment occurs, the rerailer will help correct it. When assembling a train, you can use it to align the wheels properly on the track. If you want to use it for placing cars on the track, make sure to install it in an accessible spot. For normal derailment prevention, install it after difficult track sections. As for maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft brush to gently clean the track. Also, check the terminal wires regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
