A printable 1:120 Scale Ruler. Includes metric and imperial measurements.

Having unpacked my last collection of "goodies" that arrived promptly in the post from the good folks at Trackgang Products, the US flat deck wagon that was amongst said "goodies" has sat untouched since. Until today.

The only reservation that I held about the US was its cast bogies. I had had some minor problems getting the 4-wheel wagons from Trackgang to run smoothly; something that, admittedly, was related more to my abilities than to any inherent problems with the product. I didn't fancy my chances of getting all four axles to line up and run properly on the US, so I put it aside in the hope that a brilliant idea would come to me. This morning I came up with a solution that is satisfactory, cheap, and simple.

To borrow a favourite quote from Gollum in The Hobbit, every NZ120 modeller can now have a handy reference card in their pocket.  I've got mine printed onto a clear plastic sheet and I keep one in my wallet.  I find it useful for checking the scale of items such as vehicles when in toy shops with the kids.
