    Hi Dick, I think having a lot of 3 point gauges is something that
sounds good on paper but is not really needed once it's tried?  When I
was modeling in O scale I had a lot of 3 point and other handmade
gauges but I gradualy stopped bothering with them and began to do it
similiar to your method. Now that I'm modeling in S scale I haven't
taken the trouble to make any gauges, I'd rather spend the money on
extra NASG gauges so I can always find one close by....dave
