Hi Mike, It's on the trackpad menu, here: 2_231324_400000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 23 Jan 2013 20:19 from: Martin Wynne Hi Mike, As we are talking basics, I thought I would post this diagram again: 2_010658_360000000.gif A is the check gauge. It is the most critical dimension in pointwork. If this dimension is too small, wheels running from left to right can hit the nose of the vee and very likely derail, or at least bump. If this dimension is too large, the wheel backs will bind or jam on the check rail. To make sure it's correct, the check rail is set using check gauge tools. For 00-SF and 00-BF this dimension should be 15.2mm, so you can use the ...

The check gauge must be used to set the check rail. Alan posted: 16 Jul 2013 11:52 from: Martin Wynne Alan Turner wrote: The check gauge must be used to set the check rail. That's right. Here's this diagram and notes again: 2_010658_360000000.gif A is the check gauge. It is the most critical dimension in pointwork. If this dimension is too small, wheels running from left to right can hit the nose of the vee and very likely derail, or at least bump. If this dimension is too large, the wheel backs will bind or jam across the check and wing rails. To make sure the check gauge is correct, the check rail is always set using the check gauge tool from the opposite running rail. B is the crossing flangeway gap. ...

3. 00-SF minimum radius and gauge widening questions

... gauge is constant. For 00-SF (and 00-BF) it is always 15.2mm. Check gauge tools for setting this are available from C&L. Consequently if there is gauge-widening on sharp curves, the check rail gap increases by the same amount as the gauge-widening. This is true for all gauges and scales, always has been, and is also the case for the prototype -- special widened check rail chairs are made for use where there is gauge widening. Here's a diagram: 2_010658_360000000.gif A is the check gauge. It is the most critical dimension in pointwork.
