As if an engineer knows the gauge of his locomotives, and has to check every
track he them runs on to be sure it's the right gauge. Do you know the
distance from your curb to the curb across the street? You drive on it.

And since half of that is on each side of the track centerline, the distance
that the O gauge rail is out too far compared to the side of a loco or car
is 1¾ inch. Some of you must have very accute sense of proportion.
