    I've been looking for a track gauge to help me with building my turnouts, designing tunnels, etc. but it looks like they don't make them for Z. NZT used to make them, but they don't exist any more and nobody has picked up that slack. Even NMRA doesn't have them (at least in the non-member store) Is there a way to get one short of machining one myself?

    Graham Jones of ZclubGB trades as NMRSmodels in the U.K. I got some lost wax brass ones off him years ago. Don't know if he still has any but if you google him you should find him

    You can use the Nn3 gauge from Republic Locomotive Works, or use the MTL z scale gauge.

    Thanks for the help, but I'm using them to make turnouts, so what I really need is something thin with flanges.

    @eXact Modelbau That looks very useful for parallel track, I might just get one of those.
