How do I choose the correct track gauge?

Select the gauge that matches your network standard. Australian rail networks primarily use 1067mm, 1435mm, or 1600mm track gauges.

What is the difference between the V&P RCA and V&P RCS track gauges?

The RCS is designed for plain line track measurement only, while the RCA can measure both plain line and turnout geometry.

When should I choose a digital track gauge?

A digital track gauge is ideal when measurements need to be recorded, analysed, or uploaded into asset management systems.

What is the difference between the G345 and G345/B wheel profile gauges?

Each gauge is calibrated to a different wheel profile standard and should only be used with the profile specification it was designed for.

Can measuring equipment be used on electrified rail networks?

Yes, provided it meets the requirements of the network operator. Always check the product specifications against local network standards.
