Wow what a find.  All I ever see at grarages sales is rusty old track and busted up stuff.  Great find.

I think I outsmarted the hound this time.

Notice the evil look on my hound after she chewed up my 3rd wooden track gauge (photo taken last year). I always try and keep it out of reach but she’s sneaky and the second I leave it laying near the tracks, she’ll grab it, run like crazy and chew it up.



So, I epoxied this dual-gauge track gauge together. Now I just hope I don’t misplace it like I do my other tools.
