I have what i thought was a very fast train, LGB 70600 ICE train, modified with engines at both ends and digital controls. It is fast compared to my other trains and with a number of others that I have seen but after doing the figures i'm not so sure. It did 40 metres around a circular track with two very tight R1 type curves, one slightly more than a right angle the other slightly less. <br /> <br />So men follow my figures and see if you agree 40 m = 0.04 Km / 18 sec X 60 X 60 = 8 km per hour / 8 X 5 = 5 mph do you all agree, if so its not very fast, but it seemed to be really humming along. <br /> <br />But if we wi***o reach a scale speed then 5 X 22.5 = 112 miles per hour /5 X 8 = 180 kilometres per hour not too shabby eh. <br /> <br />What do you think. <br /> <br />Rgs Ians Kawana island Rail Speedway.
