Brainscratching question

[geoffers]

A while back (few months) one of the model railway magazines (cannot remember which one but probably Hornby or Model Rail) posted a review of a piece of modelling kit which measured a scaled down train speed. The kit was placed in, say, and open wagon and had a digital display. Now idiot here has cleared out his magazine stash and now cannot rememember who made the kit and/or who supplies it. May I ask of the generous spirits who reside upon this elegant and knowledgeable forum whether they can suggest where this item may be obtained?

My cheapo bike speedo wouldn't work like that as the pulses from the wheel are sent by wireless to the head unit!

Thanks guys. Something like that but this was a piece of kit specifically produced for the market rather than home produced.
