hayfield Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Its a 3 point track gauge not a back to back gauge, very usefull when building track as they widen the gauge automatically on curves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I concur, that's a track gauge. A back to back is usually L shaped, and is placed between the rims, not against the axle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigwelsh Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 You want something like these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Back-Back-Gauge-EM-Gauge-Keane-EM-/110639632567 or http://motorbogies.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20&products_id=215 (this type is made by Romford/Markits I believe) I understand EM b2b is normally 16.5mm but that would ideally be with a consistent flange size.

RMweb Gold griffgriff Posted March 2, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2011 It's a track gauge ... and absolutely no good for checking the back to back - but it must have been fun trying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
