TT Scale. The Ideal Scale.

Do you have any problems running HP steamers on Tillig switchs like 83332 and other?

up for sale is my lionel PRR f3 loco. the loco is in good working condition as can be seen from the numerous videos i posted on the forum. after some problems i had when i first bought the lok and roll chassis the problems seem to have been caused by the cheap piko transformer i was using. with the better transformer the loco runs great. i am asking $220 for loco with free shipping ...

Reading the latest Railroad Prototype Cyclopedia , which contains a lengthy section on X29/ARA design box cars, I've gotten onto an X29 kick. Has there been, is there, such a TT scale model? Thanks.

well after finally geting to see the house, i have absolutely no room for a layout in the house. i will have use of the garage which will leave me enough space for an 8/4 standard layout. this not being g scale i was wondering if anyone else has run tt in cold enviroments. i could put in a space heater but cant be running it all the time. how does tillig/ roco/ piko hold ...

Key to a great many German layouts is the ubiquitous BR 143. Frustratingly, given their epidemic nature in the DBAG scene, Verkerhrsrot models are hard to come by. I snapped this up a couple of weeks ago from a Hungarian dealer.

I very much like the prototype, and looking at the model something didn't seem right. I quickly realised that the culprit is the windscreen, which is too shallow- ...

Hi :shifty: ,

Though a lot of TT-Drivers think Rocos has made this locomotive as the first only-for-TT-construction, in fact it is not. Only a few people know that Fleischmann has all their locomotives and wagons repainted as CAD-Drawings, even the very old ones. It is said, the former owner, Horst Fleischmann, wanted it that way. So it was easy for Roco choosing one of the most ...

Hi :shifty: ,

Roco prepaired their BR 44 for Seuthes steam-generator, a very small german (exactly: swabian) company. Digital-Drivers take the item-number 28, analogue-Drivers Nr. 27. The work is done very easily. And how amusing reading Rocos guys telling everyone it was ‘much to difficult placing a smoke-generator into the BR 44’ – seems, they don’t know what they are selling.

Analogue/digitally: Remove the locomotives body, and ...

Hi :shifty: ,

shortly before Xmas 2011 I bought Kühns new tracks-Set. I’m trying to review these tracks as an ordinary model-trains-product, even though I had some influence in constructing and developing these tracks.

On the first glimpse the Kühn-Tracks look exactly like the well known H0-‘RocoLine-without-roadbed’. It’s obvious, this happened on purpose. You don’t have to invent the ...

Blackstone Models HOn3 division of Soundtraxx has just announced a joint project with Kato to produce HOn3 (10.5mm) Unitrack style snap track in 228mm straight and 480mm/22.5 degree curved sections with turnouts to follow later this year. OK, I know it's not exactly TT, but it may be usable for those wanting to model 42" gauge 1:120 scale. Hopefully, they will expand the line to include enough variety of sections to create a layout beyond ...

Here are some more photos from my live-diesel outdoor layout. I rode from Vancouver to Toronto the first week in May and am in Ohio now until the end of the month. The train was the first long train of the summer season and had about twenty cars, including two diners and three dome cars.

The first photo shows the train in sections waiting for departure from Vancouver, done that way to allow easier boarding. ...
