[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Avondaleguy</i> <br /><br />Incidentally, I made my own N-scale ruler(s) by drawing them on my computer at work, then printing them out, with my CAD software. By folding the paper over, then "laminating" it between two strips of clear scotch tape, I ended up with a fairly durable if flimsy measuring tape. The benefit of doing this is that I can draft it in whatever increments I wish, and with two sides of the ruler, I can do two different sorts of units / increments. [/quote] <br /> <br />Clever, and inexpensive. Flimsy can be a good thing in some cases, and you can make them rather short if needed. I especially like the idea of different increments, as you can tailor those to your needs, even vary them on the same side. Even my good eyes cross trying to count some of those increment marks. <br /> <br />---jps
