Oswald-1266517 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Not a problem, but when may we expect to have Tracksetta profiles for TT scale, available for purchase ? Particularly, the straight, 2nd (310mm), 3rd (353 mm) and 4th (396 mm) radii? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I could see no mention of TT120 track planning guides on this site. They are available in 00, which I appreciate is of no use to you. Tracksetta as a product, is manufactured by Peco, and they are metal - I suppose they may bring out a set of gauges if the demand is there.

81F Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Are you sure tracksetta gauges do not already exist for TT120 but not in in name? It just might be the case that the manufacturers have simply not caught up with the new name.I'm sure I've seen tracksetta gauges for TT, HOm both of which use 12mm track, in some ways no different to me using n gauge tracksettas for my 009.

Topcat1707821625 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I use OO gauge so I'm only replying to this post because it first appeared in General Discussion. Anyone who pays £8.70 for a bit of plastic must have money to burn. That's well over £100 for a full set of Peco gauges. For that price I can buy a couple of second-hand locos on Ebay.Why not do as I do and make your own gauges by drawing out the curves with a pencil and length of string on a piece of hardboard or thin plywood, then cut them out with a jigsaw?It's not something that needs super skills. If you can build a layout you can do this.Am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-Man Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 When I owned a full set of OO Tracksetta gauges they were made of very solid metal and would last a lifetime. Are they made of plastic now?Very few modellers make everything from scratch. Everyone is different. Where you want to set the balance between pre-made and scratch built is surely up to each individual modeller. The aim is to have fun within your own budget and preferences.

ntpntpntp Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 The only Tracksetta I've ever bought was an N gauge 9" radius item probably 40 years ago. I still have it somewhere but I don't use it, I find simply measuring and marking out the centre line and laying the track to the line is actually more accurate. Plus with flexible track you need to build in transition curves anyway, not just go directly from straight to curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox 17 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Tracksetta are aluminium and TT (12mm gauge) are available from 3smr.I bought some last year at a show they were attending and I saw they still had some 3 weeks ago.I don't know if they had a full set, what ever that is, but I got the ones I needed.Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
