Rallymatt Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 High Fell & St James Quay is most definitely TT:120, set in mid 60’s and my main focus but the appeal of an early livery HST is hard to shake. I have seen T scale mentioned before and it certainly looks interesting, being small and seemly impressive running. Has anyone else been tempted, dived in and have some useful feedback?

Peter Stiles Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 T scale is fun if you want to do Landscape modelling.. However it's not a scale that lends to lots of shunting as the couplings on the models I have won't easily uncouple, and the points are clunky...But being able to run a full-length HST on a coffee table is wonderful!

Yelrow Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 i found points clunky, so bought Z gauge instead. Plenty of choice and peco track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpntpntp Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I have one of the first T scale sets. To be honest I found it more of a gimmick rather than a serious model train, rather jerky running I think due to the magnetic adhesion between stock and track being too strong (the set can be run upside down!!) Magnadhesion eat your heart out! A bit of fun, but my set's not seen the light of day for a few years now. On the other hand the later mechanisms are supposed to be better and I have seen some nice looking layouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Thanks for all feedback. If I can talk myself into something in living room (better to watch than most of tv) a simple dogbone layout… HST fast running 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
