Hummm.. Thanks so far......Any way to use digital clocks? 

How would one get minute  timing with just a one handed clock?

I am trying to develop a passenger schedule between 10 stations on several secondary branch lines.  I am thinking I will need some form of minute display.  Never used a fast clock schedule so my questions may be flat out dumb.

 

Leave the minute and second hands on the clock.

With a 12:1 clock, 1 hour would be 12 hours.  5 minutes of real time (300 seconds) would be 1 hour so 1 minute of real time would be 12 minutes of fast time, therefore 5 seconds of real time would be 1 minute of fast time.  On the new face make every 5 minutes an hour and every 5 seconds 1 minute.

My head hurts, somebody check my work!!!

Seems like I did use a digital clock once, but can't recall what I did, don't think I used anything but hours.

Andre...just don't use it for switching, phase in/out of real time/fast time. I do it all the time

the above link to GML Enterprises.    They mfg (in the USA) fast clocks and DC throttles.    A number of local modelers use their clocks.    You can have a bunch of digital outputs around the layout run by one master clock.   They aslo do analog fast clocks I think.    

I have used their throttles and their customer service and support has been superb.
