... a flat-portion for gauging from the nose of the vee. This dimension is the most important in constructing track. You could just about get away with constructing the other rails by eye from the template, but not the check rails. If the check rails are not correctly set, there is a real risk that wheel flanges will strike the nose of the vee and derail. The check gauge tool engages the check rail only and is clear of the other rails. This is the 00-SF check gauge tool: 2_151030_530000000.png v= nose of crossing vee w= wing rail alongside vee c= check rail r= running rail, possibly gauge-widened f= flat on tool to clear the top of the vee c. Use a crossing flangeway gauge to set the V-crossing flangeway gap between the vee and the wing rails. (2. above) This is usually a small flat piece of metal of the required thickness, usually sourced from precision shim or a feeler gauge or similar. It should be a close fit in the ...
... specified track gauge dimension is always a minimum. So for EM the track gauge tool should measure between 18.20mm and 18.23mm to be acceptable, and preferably nearer the minimum. Likewise for 00-SF the track gauge tool should measure between 16.20mm and 16.23mm. In practice it is not the end of the world if these dimensions are exceeded for the running rails. The important one is the check gauge tool, which should be discarded if not between 17.20mm and 17.23mm for EM, or between 15.20mm and 15.23mm for 00-SF: 2_151030_530000000.png regards, Martin.
