I've considered this (quoted below), and I wonder how much of a difference it
could actually make? I mean, unless one is modeling to PROTO or FINE SCALE
standards, and unless one is modeling tight radius curves, there really
shouldn't be that much of a difference.
But, if I'm wrong, then the simple solution would be to just go with a 2-point
gauge instead of a 3-point ("T" shaped) gauge... or either a narrowed, 3-point
gauge that has very short "arms" (for lack of a better word) on the top of the
"T". See diagram at URL below :

Anyone got any thoughts on this new design?

I don't use 3-point guages as they can throw the guage out depending on the
radius of curvature.
