Model Railroad Questions
Here are two brief questions from readers:
o-scale
Frank asks readers: "When installing the fixed voltage plug the switch will not activate the switch track(0-22 switch track). What am I doing wrong?"
Tool Needed
Elton asks readers: "Where can I locate an HO track gauge? I have been looking at my hobby shop for six weeks and he cannot locate one for me."

Use the NMRA standards guage, available from https://www.nmrastores.com/Public_Store/product_info.php?products_id=53&osCsid=gsj5odffa19o09v36c36o3din6
I check the gauge (for HO ) with the gauge moulded on the KD coupler height gauge. I always use Peco track and I never use it again if I have to pull it up after a long period of time. (you know, years in the one configuration). Too many gauge hassles. Nothing is worse than delrailments caused by track problems. I hope this helps.
cheers,
