TT Scale. The Ideal Scale.

New PIKO models

a hood unit. ought to be suitable for a few US things. and piko are somewhat easier to pull to bits than tilligs.

hang on, are these HO or TT?

ok, yeah i see now, the coupler. have to go looking for a plan for one. it has 8' wheelbase trucks or thereabout which does make it suitable for a fw things, at least in terms of trucks.

PIKO announced TT news for 2011:

Yes, they are TT, 84.99 Euros and Piko has already updated the Web shop:

Of course they are not available yet.

I hope there is more rolling stock to come, I like their pricing....makes it so much easier to get a longer set up running

Piko's details are not as high but accepable, I recently purchased this model and will post some detail pictures shortly:

Not bad for what you pay for

Also, Piko has 3 model lines as far as detail goes: Hobby for beginners (cheapest), Expert (more details) and Classic (Piko's Highend models, most details and better mechanical and digital components) Unfortunatly, since they have checked out the market for TT scale (they are pretty big in HO) we have only gotten the Hobby line yet. Let's hope this will change soon

Sorry, but I do not know - if Horch cars were exported in USA or Canada in 1930s...

But they were popular in Russia after 1945... ;)
