    This table of measurements is in German but may be useful for folk looking for TT mechanisms : https://www.tt-board.de/forum/wiki/?title=Drehgestellbaukasten&fbclid=IwAR3MqkuZC9vfJiU4WmjqRRONsmwGxKZ8HGR278HkVYl1dLIgKcsv-qR6KKY

    I have a pair of wheelsets from Hakl (??) somewhere, but they were very pricy. Don't know of any others.

    One thing I wonder with what has been shown so far, is whether any of the Hornby TT stock has spoked wheels? Reason I ask is most N spoked wheels look quite bad. Mostly, they have metal tyres with an inner plastic rim as part of the spoke insert, and the rim together with the metal tyre, results in the spokes being too stubby and the tyre way too thick. Peco's look better - their spoke wheel was moulded entirely from plastic.

    Or you could use the 3mm Society14.125mm gauge, and model 1:120 5'6" broad gauge.

    Ditto. Good luck to them for having a shot. Don't understand the negativity. A scale that languished is now being bestowed diesels, steam, wheels, track, rolling stock. With the intent of attracting a new market, not siphoning off from anyone else's territory.

    I'll have to try to find a pic of the Union TT 'EMD E7' that someone did once. It's about half the length it should be and looks like a lost puppy or a Baldwin Babyface.

    I have looked through many pages of this topic but can find no pic of the 66 body shell (I understand the chassis was not yet under the one Hornby showed.) Can anyone link me to a pic of the real body shell? (not the shopped image, seen plenty of them.)

    Agreed. Never seen one in the flesh. However, wondering if one reason the Hornby Cl 66 is cheaper, may be because they bought design work or moulds Mehano had already done. BTW, looks like Mehano are still around, but they exited the German market and it was then Lemke or Hobbytrain took over their German projects. Not sure of the relationships or structures here.

    Sometime around 2014 Mehanotechnika announced a 1:120 TT scale Cl 66 / 77 then I think they collapsed & it got taken up by Lemke or Hobbytrain. Anyone know if it ever got produced?
