I hope you'll consider taking notes, pictures, etc. of this project and share 'em here.
This kind of "How I Did It" type stuff is always a good read and inspirational, too!

Re: Track gauge tool question
Hi All,
I bought two # 6 turnouts (R/H + L/H) each from both Tamalco as well as Empire (4 total).

Re: S scale Reading T1
It's practically a lost art.? Back in 1917, Santa Fe took their ten 2-10-10-2's and rebuilt them into twenty 2-10-2's.

Re: S scale Reading T1
It's awesome how the railroad shop rebuilt locomotives in the age of steam! Many who saw the 2102 on last summer's NASG excursion would have been astonished to learn about this.

This is an easy diagram to understand. Thanks for posting. I seem to

Re: Track gauge tool question
Opinions have always varied on the best type of track gauges.
For the three-point gauges, one plus is that it is guaranteed to gauge perpendicular across the track where a flat gauge might get held

Re: Track gauge tool question
I like using the 3 point on curves as is automatically broadens the gauge.
If used on tangent track the gauge will be within the nominal range.

Re: Track gauge tool question
Matt,
The NASG track gauge is a better alternative. It¡¯s quicker and easier to use and it gives you the flexibility to measure flangeways and wheel tread.
