The math to do it by hand:
For a 30' length in HO...
30 ft *12 inches per ft is 360"
360"/87.1 = 4.133" (so 4.133" equals an HO 30')"
Just for grins, I dialed in 4.13318"( OK I can't get the 0.00018 ) on my vernier caliper, and checked it against my "General No. 1251 Model Railroad Reference Rule"...............
It came out 29'-10", on the ruler..........(I never said the ruler was absolutely accurate, and temperature could affect the accuracy of both measuring devices, it's "energy conserving cool" in the house.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
