William-348584 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Because of the current shortage of pre-built trackside buildings for TT120, does anyone think it would be aesthetically correct to use N gauge buildings instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelton Junction Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I have a few n gauge products on the TT 120 layout but the ones from british manufacturers look better as they’re slightly larger than their European counterparts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Matchett Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 If you use N gauge buildings at the rear of your layout, and the very few 120 ones near the front, in can help to create a so-called ‘forced perspective’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpntpntp Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 There is a significant difference in scale between the two so I wouldn't place them immediately next to each other, but they may be OK as a background forced perspective effect as suggested above. Also note that the scale used for N models varies a little depending on whether the building is intended for UK (1:148) or or rest of the world (1:160), and there's even a difference in apparent scale with different manufacturers of British N buildings (for example Metcalf card kits seem larger scaled than Kestrel plastic kits).
