N Scale Body Mount Coupler Height Gauges

thingiverse

This is a set of height gauges for body mounting couplers on N Scale rolling stock. These gauges are at the four heights commonly used in body Micro-Trains couplers. * .220 for 2000 series underslung couplers * .275 for 1025 couplers and similar * .279 for 1015/1016 couplers with supplied shim (or older version with thick lid up) * .293 for 1015/1016 couplers without shim, (or older versions with thin lid up) The finger is 5mm, wide, about the width of most of the coupler boxes. the best way to print these is vertically on the square end. Print the gauges slightly thick if necessary -- a few thousandths or .1mm. and sand and measure to final height. I did not have to adjust the height with my printer. Put the gauge on the track, and roll the car up to it to check mounting height. Micro-Trains specifies +- .005" for coupler mounting.
