Looking at Stronachlachar Saga pictures published on this thread on the NGonline forum http://ngrm-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8314-stronalacher-saga/ I'm struck by how good his handlaid track looks and how well it flows.
Now I've hand built track in O scale before, but have never attempted in in 009 - so how many people are doing this ?
What options are available in supplies these days? Looking at the C&L site they only do a code 40 flat bottom rail which I suspect may be too shallow for some of the flanges on my older stock. Any one do code 55 or 70? Who makes suitable track gauges?

Tom,
Not tried this myself yet, just getting set up, collecting the bits needed. Markits make roller gauges, you can get them from Wizard Models:

I have not found any source for three point gauges though.

Frank, I have some 3 point gauges that were made in the Stares - Micro Engineering? - but they do not seem to be the easiest things to get for any gauge in the UK, let alone 9 mm.
Wonder if the N-Gauge Society do them, though thinking about it I'm not sure if the 2 mm Association do them either (though they do sell roller gauges). The drawback (apart from the 2 mm Associations ones being 9.42 mm) is that both groups only sell to members.
