I have searched for Re-Railers and found products by Peco and Gaugemaster but are there any other suppliers?

Which do members find is preferable?

What loco deck length do each have?

I am planning to use them as loco lifts and storage.

I use a Peco one with a deck length of 152mm.
A longer deck would probably be more useful

Never used one in almost 55 years in this hobby, but I'm starting to think that it could be an essential fashion accessory 

You mean the long thin sloping type of re-railer as opposed to the pre-made track section (looks like a level crossing with guide strips)?

Most of the major manufacturers who make a track system will probably offer one, certainly Fleischmann, Arnold and Minitrix do, as do some 3rd parties.  I think Proses make an expensive powered one.

I keep a couple in my tool box for setting out rakes of wagons and coaches at the start of a show.


If you want something more suited to lifting and storage then look at Train-Safe - very nice but also expensive

Also look at fiddleyard cassette systems which allow for trains to be lifted and turned or stored. I think there are some kits out there, or simply make them yourself from aluminium right-angle fixed to a flat base.

These are a couple I made myself some time ago, actually for my lad's HOe narow gauge layout so still 9mm gauge

I have  few Peco ones in various tool boxes, crates for shows etc..  It is not really long enough for 75 ft coaches such as 158 and 170 DMUs.  I also have the Proses one referred to.  Has the virtue you can "drive" a loco off it and not rub traction tyres on the track as it rolls off. 

KAto do a rerailer as well.they are all practically the same - cheap and useful!

there are also track sections with a diamond shape in the centre of the track  - rerails on the go! ( google rerailer/Images)

do a search on Cassette ( entire forum) for some useful ideas ( search box, top right of page)

I have a Peco one with two strips of aluminium foil glued on and wrapped under the lower edge, it does the same as the Proses one for less money. Every little helps - well, I did buy the foil at Tesco 

Nice one Chrism
