You have a lot of patience to write all that out, as for me I don't even know all those details.
Thabnx ....I guess to look at things another way go from an R32 lets say to an R44, 68 etc, then to an Amtrak Superliner. Ride each at 45 MPH you'll go from thinking you're flying to wondering if anything on this world is slower.
Then there's the thoughts of the IRT I loved so much and speed. Don't misunderstand me..it still rates #1 in the rail portion of my heart. But you'd ride those steel relics at 45 on the jointed rail of the period with all the rock and roll ride it brought on...45 felt like 75. on and on ...
