Slight difference as their photos of trains and track are Triang or Triang based with old Bec/Gem kits etc lol

Surprisingly most new members on the FB TT page are all Tri-ang and a few of them are youngsters. There are not many who have joined into 14.2. My thoughts were if developing a point that Peco H0m rail could be used and there would be no issues. I have 5 Lincoln-Loco RTR models and all of them, including the class 37, will run on Tri-ang track, including small radius curves as well as Peco. Garry

It would be nice if some were done to Tri-ang standards, there are far more people with Tri-ang/12 mm than 14.2 and it would save modifying Peco ones.

Following on from Robert, the society does sell some good second hand models but very few are 14.2. Now and again a loco, some coaches and wagons do appear though. I have to say the with a small handful of kits then plenty of 3D printed bodies I have over 100 different classes of British outline locos, the oldest being a GNR Stirling Single. Mine are 12mm and a lot of the 3D bodies are from Lincoln-Locos which I fit on a Tri-ang chassis wherever I can. Apart from a small handful of excellent rtr diesels that appeared late last year you will have to make your own chassis but I have no idea what the situation for parts is as I make my own etched chassis's to suit Tri-ang or Romford wheels and where possible use a Tri-ang XT60 motor. On the wagon front the society does have a very good selection of kits, especially Parkside but you do need wheels, I fit the bodies on Tri-ang wagon chassis's. So, there is a lot of loco and wagons around but no idea about coaches as I use Tri-ang or a handful of made up bought ones second hand. Garry

There was also an article in March BRM about using Tri-ang TT chassis's in modern 3D bodies. Garry

Due to some videos being embedded into inappropriate ones I have started to disable that facility on them which means they cannot be seen here but are still available on YouTube. Garry

Here is the second RTR loco from Lincoln-Locos, class 37, having its first run on the main line. Garry

The Std 4 coming along nicely with the new Railtec lining transfers. Only the crest is Fox, the rest including smokebox and bunker numbers are Railtec. These are TT, 3mm, scale. Garry

I am very impressed with what Steve does, and the timescales. I model in TT (3mm) which itself is a lot smaller market than 00 or N but Steve has excelled. Initially I used the standard excellent cabside numbers but then started to enquire about having his 3D transfers and MT lining reduced for 3mm. Steve worked on this and for a few months the 3D plates have now been available and arriving within a few days, today the lining has also appeared and looks to be another excellent product. Most of these all have variations like the smokebox numbers with 3 different coloured backgrounds and lined/unlined. You cannot fault this service. Garry

This is the email I use and got a reply about an hour later, Steve is very good at replying. Railtec Transfers <railtecmodels@gmail.com> Garry

Isambard Kingdom Brunel finished with Railtec 3D transfers for cabside and smokebox numbers, Kings X nameplates, proper copper chimney and metal bogie and tender wheels fitted.

Some more TT scale 3D numberplates, thanks Steve.

Looks very nice, well done. I maybe tempted to do one sometime. It is a pity you did not get to motorise it but still nice to be sat on a line in the loco shed.
