This is an extension of the "Good Idea and Expand on it???" thread. Just to stir the pot, the idea that sparked that thread was an object (a model polar bear). Here's something along those lines.
I think its safe to assume that the object will be placed on or around a railroad line. Railroads haul freight. Freight can come in boxes. So how about a box marked simply "The Gauge"?
Make it so that it is a flat car load - or not. Set it on a loading platform - or not. Put it mysteriously in someone's front yard. Stick it anywhere, preferably where it gets noticed. Make up your own story about it if you want. Paint it day-glo pink if you want - its your box!
Or maybe someone can start a cottage industry making "The Box" in various scales? (Sorry, it's getting late.)
