RMweb Premium Kris Posted November 29, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2010 That was running impressively slowly. That was more than a crawl at about the 4 minute mark. I do wonder why they didn't clean the wheels on the other unit to allow it to carry on as I don't see how dirty wheels would be caused by the controller.

RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted November 29, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2010 it's too small to check the front and side window details too I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 How fantastic to see some British stock in this scale. I've enjoyed seeing videos of the original Japanese models, but the HST makes the whole thing seem more "real" to me. I could actually envisage trying to find room for a 'T' layout now... what's next, I wonder - an APT? Here's hoping! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nackerty Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Find room? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin_m Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Should that be "find the layout after I put it down somewhere?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will J Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Find room? Before seeing what is possible with slow speed running, I had only thought of T gauge as a means to make 'train running through the landscape at speed' sorts of layouts, which would tend to occupy the same space as a conventional layout. The ability to run slowly makes micro-micro layouts, a single line terminus or shunting yard, a possibility. Could be scope for an RMWeb competition, a layout in a T-tray! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wollastonblue Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 That is very impressive. So who is going to convert a KIHA 40 into a 153? or KIHA 47/48 into 155 unit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted November 30, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2010 The HST with a full rake will look very good indeed on something like the sea wall at Dawlish. That sounds fantastic...I recall someone has done that in Z scale.....but T scale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the right controller, the trains are responsive with good slow-speed running, so the first RTR UK item can only be a good thing. TGauge is great! I have 2 HST starter sets with different track sizes which allows you to run 1 oval of track inside the other, thus giving you a very basic layout. I also have the very basic EWS 67007 starter train set where you only get 1 loco, an oval of track & a battery operated controller. I've since bought a 2nd stand alone EWS 67007 loco to add to the existing loco & they both run excellently together! It would be good if TGauge could do some DMU train sets with 2 or even 3 cars! TGauge unlike Z gauge has really taken off in the UK with UK rolling stock & as technology improves, I can only seeing TGauge improving! Below is a video link of my basic TGauge double oval track layout! https://1drv.ms/v/s!Ak-2LtKBk-iUgjHUOAH_swgKmfRk Edited April 15, 2021 by Zorch 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted April 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 15, 2021 Crikey, resurrecting an 11 year old thread! I keep being tempted by T as a bit of a giggle. Could 3D print so much stuff, not like it would need to be super detailed! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorch Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 That would be good. N gauge is my main scale for modelling in but I really do love TGauge for it's novelty. It's almost like you could do a layout on top of a birthday or Christmas cake as decor, it's so small! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted April 16, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 16, 2021 You can get DCC now (and T scale really needs it for usable speed control) but you might have a long wait for sound. There is a fabulous model of the Forth rail bridge that has been seen at a few exhibitions, and his new layout that might be complete by the end of this year looks like it will be a cracker too. Lots of T gauge stuff available on Shapeways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
