I see this as a good thing, especially as someone who purchases from overseas (Canada) and came to rely on Hatton's service. But I still might shop around a bit and support the little guy!

I just went to their site. Looks like a lot of their stock has been sold already. Not surprising.

Still in shock, digesting this. As a Canadian, living in Canada, Hattons was a very fast & reliable source from the UK. Thinking of the owners, staff and employees.

Thanks for this feedback. It sounds as it Hornby has really thought this through. My current N scale layout is about 8 years old. When It comes time to start a new layout (in a few years), then maybe I will consider TT. By then, we should also know if it Hornby TT was successful or not.

Interesting. Sounds like Hornby has really thought this through.

Yes, good point, but I still think TT is a great (ideal) scale and it's surprising it's taken this long to become so popular (realize I'm speaking in very general terms.)

Interesting! Yet, based on the past, if Hornby TT120 does do well, I wouldn't be surprised it Bachmann wanted a piece of the pie as well, and started offering their locos, filling in the gaps, etc. Who's to stop them & the competition would be good.

Yes, that makes sense re eBay, etc. However, I was mainly thinking of rolling stock and locos. But with this version of TT being only 2.5mm scale, you'd think you could use (fudge) some N scale building (especially if placed in the distance) and maybe even some HO buildings?

I'm fascinated by Hornby's new TT launch, and find myself thinking about it often, watching TT videos on Youtube, etc. About 8 years ago, I switched from 00 to N, so I don't think I can really afford another scale switch, unless it's a few years in the future. I've always thought TT was the ideal scale and I really enjoy watch videos of TT layouts in operation. A few thoughts/questions: It would seem strange (and limiting), I think, to buy all of ones products from the same manufacturer. In 00 and N, I'm used to sourcing locos and rolling stock from a variety of companies -- both new and very old -- and this partly adds to the charm of having a layout, putting together a believable layout from items that are either brand new or 40+ years old. Also, does anyone know if Bachmann or any other manufacturers will get into TT120? I could see that happening, although it's curious the Heljan recently pulled away. Mods: This post is NOT meant to be controversial, etc., I'm just asking about and posting thoughts that have come to mind as I digest the TT news. Please feel free to take it down, though, if necessary.

Thx! Interesting. I’d only want to print off a few pages here and there.

Yes, thanks... I think this would work and I've done it with an online book I had. Only downside is that it's slow and tedious.

I've obtained access to a number of railway magazines via Magzter, which is great. Only problem is that it seems I can only read them from my computer (or ipad if I were to use that). I'd like to print off pages to read later but I can't get the print function to work as the print preview is blank. Is there are way to print these or am I limited to online/on-screen use only? I still like holding printed papers in my hand to read, rather than staring at a screen. Thanks in advance. Rob

Interesting, thanks! Will try it. FYI, I'm in East York.

Thanks! I've tried electronic versions and really don't enjoy them, especially for something like a thick railway magazine where I love to jump around from one section to another. I realize you can still do that with an e-version but I don't find it as easy or convenient.

Hmm, good idea. I'll check it out. I would have thought a British railway magazine would be too obscure for a Canadian library but I'll check it out. FYI, I live in Toronto.
