Rerailing jack(s) - Victorian style - 4mm scale

[Penlan]

Is there a source of 3D printed rerailing jacks - as used on Victorian Loco's, smaller industrial railways etc., 

[Enterprisingwestern]

Are these any good?;

Why 3D printed. I think RT Models do some in white metal.

I suppose I was trying to be 'Modern'.

Ironically, whilst looking through Goggle images,

I found one from the broad Gauge Society, referenced from my own post in 2015...

But illustrated in post #6 and my post at #12. I thought I had thought about these before.....

RT Models - Their part No. 4SLP020  Large locomotive jack, though not the type I was looking for.

Ah, yes, that looks like it / them.

And apparently in stock, though knowing my luck when I order, their last one has just been sold,

..... much like my recent search for Bachmann Wicker Baskets.

...... And many thanks for your replies.

I have done side winding rerailing jacks on my 3d printed Tilbury tank. I could always put them on shapeways as a stand alone part if that would be of any use. The Gem ones seem more like fixed jacks for doing a maintenance lift rather than the type which locos tended to carry on the bufferbeam.

L49 - I've ordered some Gem ones, awaiting arrival in the post, I will check what they are like first.

On RR/ZR they were panted red and stood up on the front.

What I was after, to go on my late Victorian sloping smokebox (top hinged) door (modified K's) Coal Tank,

looked like this :-

 

 

What I have received (10 of them for £3.50 incl. p&p) look like this, so a little bit of tweaking required :-

 

 

I think I'm happy with these, once I've rounded off those obvious nuts, a couple of wires across to act as the handles seen on the 1:1 one, and all should be well, nobody will notice them anyway, more interested asking if it's a Bachmann CT......

 

Many thanks for your guidance, everybody.
