Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the two raised areas on the gauge are meant to go between the rails and they are a tight fit, as in you need to put one side in and then exert a little sideways pressure to seat the other side. They are definitely not a drop-in fit; they are supposed to be snug. One thing you might try is to mount the gauge to different pieces of track - some are looser than others due to normal manufacturing tolerances. Hope this helps.You were correct, got it to fit, thanks for the help.

My son has all of my N scale trains plus the track but I still have a piece of N scale EZ track that I use as a programming track when he visits here ("Dad, can you look at this locomotive while I'm here ......"). The Micro-Trains coupler height gauge fits very nicely on top of the track on my EZ track and works very well. Remember, the gauge is designed to fit on the track (rails) itself, not on the roadbed. The rails are supposed to fit into the grooves in the bottom of the gauge and the "shelf" on the lower edge of the gauge is for setting the clearance for the uncoupling lever (looks like a bent hose). Hope this helps.Fred I just replied but could not figure out how to tag you so I did a separate post in this thread with two images of the back of the package.
