Faller has a Castle model in it's H0 Range which is actual a N model offered as a "background object". Auhagen's range is labeled TT/H0 and is to 1:100 scale according to their catalogue. There are quite a few model buildings in the continental manufacturers H0 ranges that are nearer TT than H0, they tend to be ones that were brought out in the 60s and are still in production. Many of the Auhagen ones were ex Vero and known to be smaller, at least Auhagen have been honest, Faller and others still sell them as H0! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby aren’t inventing e-commerce here. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Class 50 in the special GWR livery that might do. Even the announced releases for later phases don't include a Swallow 47, just an NSE one that might do. Additionally there are Mk2s in blue and grey with only a single Class 50 to pull them. Seems they're reproducing all the big hits in TT, and not making a completely joined up offering. Hmmmm - fill in/move a couple of aircon Mk2 windows/doors. Paint them yellow. 31 and 37. Sorted! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I wonder how much of these are downscaled OO CAD. I may be stating the obvious, and also I know it's more than clicking a button to downscale it having done my fair share of CAD, but all that has been announced so far is stuff they already do, and given the 66 is the cheapest loco of the lot I think it's safe to presume it is of a lesser specification, just like their OO one.

I wonder if the 66 will be a shared models between Arnold and Hornby, so can reduce the cost due to spreading the tooling charge. If it is the Lima model scaled down, it’s not the worst model to work upon to do to detail and improve it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't TT:120 - 1" to 10'? Sorry to be pedantic, but little things do seem to bother me! Also noted the statement on the last page of the brochure says: "New releases This catalogue shows items planned for introduction in 2022. Delivery periods may be subject to variation. The illustrations of such items show Hornby prototype or photo enhanced models which may not conform exactly to production versions." Steve Given SK was struggling to understand where 1:101.6 came from in TT-3, that is hardly surprising they got that wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc Steampunk had a similar response. Well I’d be in but I’d want to see some reviews of production mechanisms after the issues with the APT and 91. This is where Hornby’s indifference has hurt them most on top of the rather lamentable treatment of the OO market in general. I rather like the idea of an A4 and full set in around 5ft and the jump from N to TT means the pony wheels especially look finer and indistinguishable from the OO ones.

Howzatt Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 As an original user of Triang TT (aged 5), I think this is a fantastic idea from Hornby. Just think of the huge TT:120 layout you could get into a space currently planned for 00. This has to be a brilliant way forward for many modellers, especially so, if they are at the planning stage of a new layout. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium daryll Posted October 10, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Well done Hornby , there's not many gaps in main stream 00 gauge ,unless you build your own , or super detail as in P4 , but Hornby can start again with TT 120 , I have already planed a "Minories" type layout using Anyrail and the new Peco TT 120 track , luckly in 00 gauge I only have a Q1 , 4 SR coaches and a couple on Metcalfe card kits , so no big deal , I think that after Christmas a few more manufactures will produce TT 120 items , and with the rise of 3D printing , who knows Edited October 10, 2022 by daryll 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
