Modelling Tip Of The Day – 11

This Modelling Tip Of The Day is an ongoing series, in which we’ll be posting a modelling tip that may be of use to the newbie right up to the seasoned modeller.

Today’s tip is:

Gauge Issues

Having wheelsets being out of gauge can cause running issues, such as derailments etc. On some models, they can come supplied with wheelsets that haven’t been set to gauge properly. On others, the wheelsets can end up drifting out of gauge over time. One way to check if your wheelset back to back measurements is set up correctly is to use a back to back wheel gauge tool ( or a set of measuring verniers ).

Using the back to back gauging tool will soon identify if the wheelset is correctly set up, or needs adjusting.
