Young Cousin Bill, Your 24 years in the scale does not make you a
historian! The NMRA did make a gage a long time ago, so TC is correct.
Of course if you own one it no longer is relivent to us. I do not know
the date it was made nor why they weren't remade, but it was made. I do
remember some discussions relating to that way back in the early S Gauge
Herald days.

This gauge
https://www.nmrastores.com/Public_Store/product_info.php?products_id=52 is
not available from the NMRA in S Standard gauge. Who can show me one?
If 1 was made I would think that in my 24 years of being in S Scale I
would have at least seen one at least once in someone's tool box. The
only reason why any of these http://nasg.org/clearinghouse.html
standards gauges are available is because they were produced BY the
NASG out of necessity and being ignored by the NMRA.
Sorry TC but I am NOT wrong.....
If the NMRA made a clearance gauge I am sure I would get some even if
I rarely used it. I use the NASG track and wheel gauge frequently.
How you can miss my point? Saying the NMRA should NOT make the gauges
because the NASG did is putting the cart before the horse. For the
NMRA to be the all embracing encompassing organization it is alleged
to be it would put in the good welcoming face if it made gauges in all
scales - however obscure even it if was not a profit making venture.
To me that says they do care about all scales & not just the major
3...... I don't know how else I can make my point here.
Thank You,
Bill Lane
