    I have been asked about the rack gauges I make for myself often enough that I decided to make a video of them for you guys.

    I used my camera to do this so the video is only so-so. The link to the video is on my website. Scroll down to todays date of "Wednesday October 15th 2008" to find it.

    Enjoy and have fun making lots of track gauges :D

    If anyone has a camcorder they can spare I would be happy to make better videos for my free tutorials :D :D :D

    Stephen, don't know how many are on dial-up as am I, so a 5 minute video takes over 50 minutes to download. I appreciate the posting, just hope I can afford DSL when it arrives.

    Sorry, I used simple brass sheet is all. About 2 inches wide by whatever it was long. You can use pretty much any width but I found 2 to be best as too much longer and the middle rail between can get out of whack.
    I also made some about 1/2 an inch long as well. You can make up a bunch of them in a very short time :D
