The 18\" radius is a widely used HO standard, making these sections ideal for most layouts. High-value keywords such as “HO curved rerailer track”, “18 inch radius HO track”, and “model railway rerailer HO scale” highlight their importance for both beginners and experienced hobbyists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall the curved rerailer sections into your layout like standard curved track pieces. Position them in areas where derailments are more likely, such as tight curves or entry points. Simply place rolling stock onto the rerailer to guide wheels back into alignment. Ensure proper rail connections for smooth electrical continuity. No paint, glue, or modelling tools are required for basic use, though track fixing methods can be used for permanent layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46683401322652,"sku":"BAC44429","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/files\/BAC44429.webp?v=1776787994","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyco.com.au\/products\/ho-18-radius-curved-rerailer-2-card","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
