I've never been a fan of the 'fast clock' myself.
I understand how it can 'compress' a sequence of trains on a timetable, but when carrying out shunting for example, at scale speeds, it takes pretty much as long as in the 'real world'. A 'fast clock' makes it impossible for the switching crew to keep up.
For that reason I prefer to run to a sequence, allowing (just) enough time for switching etc, between trains.
Be interested to hear your experiences though. What region/era are you modelling?
Cheers,
