Iain,
Then shouldn't you be complaining about the use of dm instead of m, h instead of
s, and g instead of kg? ;) Actually, if those are real measurements, then you
picked a good unit to express the speed of LEGO trains. 170 dm/h sounds fast
even if it is 0.0106 mph. (0.0106 seems slow, do you mean decameter (dam) that
would be 1.06 mph)
Seth,
That is a neat way to design you site. I wasn't too fond of your HP series,
but I liked your SW and D models. The rendered scenery is a nice touch that adds
to the display of your models.
I do have a few questions for you. Are those the actual weights? How did you
determine the tractive efforts (assuming that they are actual numbers)? Also,
the book I have lists tractive efforts as forces (lbs or kN) but you are listing
tractive effort as work (or energy, J)? Which is the right way to express
tractive effort?
Oh yeah, there isn't a "Products" link. There is a "Model" link.
Chris
PS If you would like to point out all the grammatical and spelling errors on my
site, just follow the URL below. (One of my favorites is axel. I seem to really
like typing that one.)
