MINT GAUGE

This is a track gauge developed to assist in maintaining the gauge through the switch blades whilst construction is in progress, The gauge has no legs with which to grip the rail head, it simply sits on top. The two lugs are positioned to be a sliding fit in the track and through the minimum flangeway. It acts in the same way as the three legged gauge to give gauge widening, irrespective of which way round it is.

It has been found that the gauge can be slid through any piece of track either plain or point and crossing. If the gauge of the track is correct it will slide along sweetly, under gauge will cause it to jam whilst over gauge will allow it to move from side to side. It will check that the flangeway widths are not too narrow, whilst removing the gauge from the rails and inserting only one lug, will check if the flangeway is too wide.

It will find the vertically or horizontally misaligned rail joints as well as the misalignment of Vee and wing rail.

A versatile gauge to complement the three legged and NMRA style rail gauges you already have.
