I wonder though has anyone ever tried to figure out what the LEGO scale
speeds are? Something like: "LEGO trains traveling at 4 studs per second
(SPS) is equal to a real train traveling at 50 miles per hour". You could
use a set of light sensors hooked to a Mindstorm set to figure what rate
your train was traveling, then do the calculation. hmmm, I guess the
question would then be asked, "why would you want to?" ...

If I ever have to run my LEGO trains at scale speeds according to pseudo
time tables I will shoot my self and have my collection ground up and
sprinkled over the nearest train yard!
