The gauges are intended to enable modellers to set-up rocking W irons and fixed and sprung axle boxes so that the axles are parallel. This greatly enhances running and helps prevent derailments.
A pair of gauges is supplied:
One is for wagons with a wheelbase of 6 0, 7 0 to 12 0 in 6 increments
This is the gauge to use for 9 0 wheelbase wagons as it will balance across the two axles. The unmarked slot is to straddle a brake cross shaft on a 9 0 wheelbase wagon if already fitted.
The other is for wagons with a wheelbase of 6 0, 7 0 to 22 0 in 3 increments
Although this gauge has the slots for shorter wheelbases, it is designed for use on wheelbases greater than 12 0 and for any wheelbase of 3 or 9.
