I'm having trouble remembering whether it was track gauge or wheel gauge that was changed when NASG and NMRA standards were merged; I want to say the wheel gauge was widened, but am not confident I have it right all, even after all these years. DJE

That's exactly what I tried to make it clear to you and other detractors back when you were slamming the Shinohara #6 switch even though you and others had to admit "it worked, but you didn't know why". And now I'll tell you another little secret, although it really wasn't a secret, then or now. The Shinohara #6 is compatible with BOTH "old" NMRA and NASG ("new" NMRA) standards.
