What speed do you run your trains?

I try to run my trains at realistic scale speeds, which is easier to do with DCS than in conventional or either of the Lionel systems because you can read out actual scale MPH. I run freight trains anywhere from 30 to 60 mph depending what it is (drag freights at 30, crack reefer blocks at 60, time freights in between). Passenger trains, the same idea. Diesels around 60, old heavyweight trains a little less, and the steam Hiawatha goes 100 smph behind a streamlined F7 Baltic 4-6-4. 

I have two layouts and conventional control only, so my "scale" is estimated to say the least. One is a 5'x'9 table with three concentric ovals. Speeds are whatever - I have mostly postwar, a couple of modern steamers, and even some early tin plate.

Second layout is a track with O72 curves around the top of the 11'x11' room. Here I go full out. With ~35 postwar cars and using my experimental 4-motor E8 kit bash I run  the consist at ~125 scale MPH, and there is room to go. It makes a heckuva racket - my neighbor can hear it!

Some good responses, thank you.

Bottom line seems to be we all just enjoy the trains in our own way.

I'm in the same mindset as Tom & Hot Water. The nice colors of tinplate cannot be enjoyed at a faster speed. Kinda like the other thing(s) in life.

 Currently all trains speeds are down to zero.

 They haven't moved for around a year now

just slow enough to keep the trains on the track....
