And the trouble is with that, unlike the rest of the world, if Scale kilometres per hour were used a US user wouldn't know what it meant. The patently silly (excuse the pun) premise is, does it even matter what the unit of speed is called? If we are only using scale *** per hour to set lashups and other locos on the same track, why not call them coconuts or Joshuas?
