3 is a magic number

Well, 3.28 actually...

I've been at the calculator for some time over the last few days taking spot heights and distances off the WHRCL (Welsh Highland Railway Construction Ltd) plans and putting them into scale terms, so they can be transferred to the layout to sort out scenic heights etc. Multiplying a distance on the plan by 3.28 gives me the actual scale distance in mm, easy as that.

Have also been screwing up newspaper into balls, but that's another story.
