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.)
Intriguing!
I just hunted down my HO scale and compared it to my calipers...mine were pretty much right on...maybe a 1/2" off (my eye sight isn't that good). There was no way around it for me...it was too good of a test! Perhaps we should use plastic measuring devices instead!
