Hello all,
It has been bugging me for some time now, that what a bloke REALLY needs in this wonderful hobby of ours would be a (very handy) set of vernier calipers that can be read out directly in scale feet and inches.....![Cool 8)](https://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
The price of accurate digital types has fallen sharply over the past few years, and it should not be too difficult for some person with a bit of electronics nonce to re-program a pair of these so that they can read in different scales....like HO, O, S and so on. Maybe even switchable between scales, as the current types are switchable between Imperial and Metric.
Anyone have any thoughts on this, or is it just another of my pipe dreams?
