Toad:

Just bite off the end of a tothpick and you have a "disposable" track guage!

Looks like that is way thin metal and making track, how would it hold up to day to day use?

Levels are for? Roller test if it will roll with out resistance I am thinking.

Most US track gauges look more like this one, Aristo large scale gauge

I've seen those but they are just less common over here
