Scale speed calculator
I've spent a couple of hours over the last day or so making myself a little tool to check scale speeds. It's nothing new, but I thought it might be handy (It's always nice when you can get something to work as you want). It's web based so I thought I'd make it public just in case anyone else found it useful (assuming my maths is right of cause!). It can be found here:
http://www.entwinesolutions.co.uk/scalespeed
It's a simple little thing;
- measure the distance and enter it (300mm is the default),
- check your scale (OO by default).
- Press the button to record the start time, press it again when the locos covered the distance.
- To record a new time just press the button to start again.
- Past runs will have the duration and scale speed listed until you leave the page or it gets refreshed.
Things to note:
-I'm the only who's checked it. I'm pretty sure my maths is right, and I've checked it against some other tools and tables, but bear in mind I might have made a mistake.
-If you refresh the page all the recorded times will be lost.
I hope you find it useful.
