embarrass you! And then you
would lose time getting rid of
it. He used to change the car
body before an operating ses-

in advance which boxcar was

Mike Dodd:
As Pipopak
wrote of Frank Ellison, the
timetable was law.
On model railroads run-
ning under a timetable (and
possibly a fast clock), the
question of “scale” speed is
moot. Crews should run their
trains at a speed suitable to
put them into the next station
at the right time on the fast
clock. Crews soon discover
a good running speed. On
my Virginian Ry., few crews
decide to zip down the line to
the next station, only to stand
around waiting for the sched-
uled departure time. Instead,
they pace themselves, and
“scale” speeds result.
