If you really want to see the speed of your train, put a camera in the engine or on a flat car being pushed by the engine aimed straight ahead.  Link the camera to a TV or other display and watch the track ahead as your train is run at what you think is a normal speed.  You will find that from track level the speed looks like 100 mph or more.  If you turn the camera 90 degrees to the track, the scenery will flash by in a blur.  

Of course, you could record the video and play it back.  That isn't as fun as seeing the train running in real time and looking back and forth from the video to the train.
