HO Knuckle Coupler Height Gauge
With the gauge centered on the track, run the car or locomotive up to the gauge.
If the coupler slips into the gap, your coupler is mounted at the correct height.
If the coupler head or uncoupling pin strikes the gauge,
appropriately adjust the coupler height until both clear.
[Note: Actual coupler gauge is black, but shown in orange above for clarity.]
