TaffsTT Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Hi again,I think my bypass loops has scuppered space for platforms?What is a normal width of platform in TT120 and has anyone else have a similar track layout dilemma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris98 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Yes, my loops are mm,s too narrow and the supplied platforms are no good for curves. To overcome this I am currently making my own platforms from some left over ply I have. Just waiting for a sander. It's no where near finshed yet but the pic gives the general idea. I will make more for my main station area which is similar to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris98 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 This will be the main station area. The section in the middle (2 tracks either side) is too narrow for tt120 platforms so will be making my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaffsTT Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 Thankyou. Will reassess area again to rethink this part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ateshci Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 @Taffhere in Germany the(calculated) minimal platform width is 34mm, although I've read of 10' wide ( 25mm) platforms in the UK's earlier days.Addendum:You'll need according to MOROP's NEM301 an additional 15,5..16mm space on each side to clear the vehicles, resulting in a distance of say min 57mm center-to-center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbie Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 PECO station parts can be cut to make narrower platforms.In The Greenwood make laser cut platforms that are 47mm wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman On The Rails Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 PECO station parts can be cut to make narrower platforms.In The Greenwood make laser cut platforms that are 47mm wide. In The Greenwood stuff is great ordered an ox bow bridge, tested a platform to see if it would work with hornby platform ends which it did, and only this week ordered a water tower needing to hide a point motor that wouldn’t fit underneath.

Rallymatt Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 In The Green Wood do some lovely stuff in TT:120. Instructions are vague but think of it like a 3D jigsaw puzzle! I have a signalbox with fantastic interior details, so much so, I left the roof loose to look inside 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris98 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Making your own from plywood is quite easy as is covering with platform printed designs that are readily available.Mine went from the previous post to thisAnd then to this, nearly finished. Platform on the left is done. Brick detail to add to one on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 These look excellent Chris. In fact the bare wood version looks quite beautiful with the wood layers showing through. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
