I have order these a few times this year and nobdy seem so have them in stock. Where can we get them?
Here’s one on ebay. It’s kinda steep, and the seller has crummy feedback. Good luck.
It might be easier if you look for GAUGE; it’s not GUAGE.
Have you tried the NMRA itself? If anyone has them, I’d assume they would.

Oh, ok. I’m stupid. But we already knew that.
Okay now I’m confused. Which Bob is perfect?
I just received mine today. I got it from “Train Buddy”. It only took a couple of days for them to send it. HO scale.
Better guard it with my life? Ha.
You can order them through the NMRA, https://www.nmra.org/
Exccept for S standard gauge which the NASG has, http://www.nasg.org/clearinghouse.html

Have you checked with Train Quest in Moreno Valley? I’m thinking Long’s might even have one.

Spelling errors can be a big problem with any internet search.
I just recently ordered my On3 gauge from the NMRA and it took almost 4 weeks for it to get to me. I had to pay $6.50 in shipping and when it got to me the postage was $0.63. I guess the $5.87 was for expediting it! On top of that it was defective and I had to have them ship out another one.
If you need an HO gauge your best bet is to order it thru your LHS, you should get it within a week as Walthers has it in stock and on sale for $8.98. Looking at Spidge’s picture I would guess he’s in N scale, in which case Walthers doesn’t have the N scale gauge in stock and the best thing to do would be to go directly to the NMRA.
BTW, Long’s recently closed for good. Give Milepost 38 a call, 714-970-3751.

The one who doesn’t duck when he sees this coming. [:D]
On mine is says, “Gage”.[(-D]
I ordered mine yesterday from Micro-Mark. www.micromark.com
Shipped today. Part No… 80752 for HO
80753 N
80754 O
Yea, good for you! [tup]
I love “Train Buddy” Kim is great and very knowledgable, and the best part is his shop is only a 10 minute drive from my house.
It does on mine too, right in the middle.
STANDARDS GAGE
Maybe ours are counterfeit?
Gage is also written all over the diagram instruction sheet too.
Didn’t get a certificate of authenticity, though. Hummm…
Maybe that is the reason.[:o)]
The spelling “gage” is actually correct for the old days when there was a distinction between “gage” and “gauge.” Gage meant the actual mechanical measuring device like the check gage from the NMRA. Gauge, as applied to railroads (model or real) would be the distance between the rails. So you would measure the track gauge with a track gage.
Not sure what a “guage” is. Or how you pronounce it.
goo-AGE???
Don’t get me started on the old difference between “battery” and “dry cell.”
Great idea as live close but both have closed. Long’s sold everything and I went by trainquest on 8/29 and the suite was empty. Hopefully they just moved. I have looked for this at these shops and have never been lucky enouph to catch them with one.
In addition I just received an order from micromark with the guage,gauge,gage( does it realy matter that much ), BACKORDERED. Why who would have guessed. I frequent milepost38 and they never have it in stock either.
It seems the N-scale gauge is popular.
