Rulers, anyone?

It seemed to take forever, but the fabricator finally coughed up my rulers, and they're now en route to my dealers, in case anyone's interested.

There are three flavors: a 3-in-1 English with 1:160, 1:220 and 1:450, a 1:160 English/Metric, and a 1:220 English/Metric.

I'm working on getting some decent photos of them right now--shooting brushed stainless steel is a challenge. Here's a quickie of the 1:220 ruler:

Clear shots here .

Actually, those are cropped-down images from my site. They're not photos, they're illustrations. Here they are full size:







They're probably more useful than photos, come to think of it.

Very cool, and I’ve actually been looking for one of these.

Do you have any other tools?

How about an N-scale square? Creative Horizons made one that I really liked and I’ve been looking for it for 4 years now.
