eastworld Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I have a few bits of TT gauge stock which I got for a layout that I haven't built. I would like to build a micro in TT scale so I need a small loco, ideally an 0-4-0 tank loco or 4w diesel. Is there anything available that could be easily converted to something British style? I don't really want to build a kit as the idea is to keep it cheap. Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon A Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Have a look at http://www.3smr.co.uk/ - 3mm Scale Model Railways. They have some 0-4-0 Judith Edge diesel kits reduced to 3mm scale and have 0-6-0 steam shunter kits. Gordon A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NCB Posted June 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 27, 2019 For ready-to-run, your best bet may be 2nd Triang, such the Jinty or the 0-6-0 diesel shunter. Arnold do a tiny battery electric shunter but can't think of a British equivalent: https://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/shop/brands/arnold-tt-1-120/arnold-tt-1-120-accumulator-shunting-locomotive-db-ag-traffic-yellow-livery.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted June 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2019 There are of course RTR locos in continental TT. The Tillig V36 might be convertible into something British. It's a superb runner, but not "cheap" although I think this same diesel was modelled earlier by Berliner-Bahn. The current Tillig version is a new model, so I can't say how well the Berliner-Bahn model runs. The V36 is a jack shaft drive 0-6-0 diesel of wartime origin, similar in general appearance to a class 08. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NCB Posted June 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2019 MTB (czech?) do some nice-looking locomotives; see http://www.mtb-model.com/pages/product_vypis.php?lang=en&id=&meritko=TT&page= I like this one: http://www.mtb-model.com/pages/product.php?id=163&lang=en&meritko=TT It's quite similar to a Class 16, as in this Heljan model: https://www.hattons.co.uk/52404/heljan_1604_class_16_north_british_type_1_d8409_in_br_green_with_grey_roof_gloss_finish_li/stockdetail.aspx Nigel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max's Model Railway Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Actually Piko make TT diesels that may be perfect for the basis of some UK shunters which you could convert into a British Railways Class 02 as an example TT 0-4-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the process of converting a V36 into a small UK-ish 0-4-0 - see the "On your, 3mm Workbench" thread. I've also produced a 3D printed body-shell of a Nasmyth Wilson 0-8-0 industrial shunter which fits the Berliner Bahn/Zeuke DR92/BR81 chassis. https://www.shapeways.com/product/2LF5D9NGJ/tt-3mm-nasmyth-wilson-0-8-0t My examples were bought from eBay with minor body damage but both locos run well.
