GMD Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Evening all I am trying to put together a comprehensive website (Called something like "TT120 Resource Hub") linking to the full variety of TT120 specialists, manufacturers and resources. I have posted a preview of it on the MacTrains YT channel. But if anyone has links to things that I have missed - of which I am sure there are plenty - I would love to hear from you. Ideally I want it to be as complete as possible before going properly 'live' with the site, so that no one is missed out, and it is as representative of the scale as possible. If you have a look at what is there, and let me know of any issues/correction or additions. Thanks to all! Any manufacturers who wish to be included as also welcome to get in touch. Will try and update once it's live! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic Hornby Username Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Here's my list of TT accessory makers. I can't vouch for the quality, so those who have used these models can share their own experiences. There will be some overlap, so use at your discretion! 1) DAPR Models- This includes buildings and elements. Several elements are featured on @Rallymatt's High Fell https://www.dapr3d.com 2) Scale Model Scenery- From their website "From fencing & gates, to gravestones, barns, houses and cottages." https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/tt--1120-330-c.asp 3) Osborns Models- Building kits for stations, wagons, and line side details. Also a variety of 3D printed accessories. https://www.osbornsmodels.com/arch-laser-tt1120-25mm-scale-1380-c.asp 4) York Modelmaking- Scratchbuilding materials for TT:120. https://yorkmodelrail.com/product-category/tt-scale/ 5) Worsley Works- Brass kits for scratch building models... Not for beginners! But they have offered to create TT:120 versions of their existing models. Email them for more information. http://www.worsleyworks.co.uk/TT-120/TT-120_Scale_Index.htm 6) Three Peaks Models- 3d Printed line side details. https://threepeaksmodels.co.uk/collections/tt-gauge 7) Spanner Shed Models- Kits for scratch building TT locomotives. https://spannershedmodels.weebly.com/tt-1120.html?fbclid=IwAR35R1Lg3kjJIhIfrqOL_y7zwHoJteFgX6MFOxF1IAAhc4_WX-TXMnI0twI 8 ) Railtec transfers- Waterslide transfers for renumbering, rebranding, and renaming locomotives and other rolling stock. https://www.railtec-models.com/catalog.php?type=5&gauge=TT 9) Modellbahn Union- While they are primarily Continental, they have a whole host of exclusive TT:120 accessories that are suitable for modern British modelers. You can see their exclusive range by choosing "TT Gauge," then selecting "buildings, vehicles & figures TT," and then selecting "Modell Bahn Union" in the filter. https://www.modellbahnunion.com/TT-gauge/buildings-vehicles-figures-TT.htm?shop=modellbahn-union-en&a=catalog&p=123183&filter=k999999g4148p4222 And now we have ATD and Railway Laser Lines too! TT is off to a great start! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Definitely feature Ben’s work at DAPR 3D, really great models and a very helpful guy.

This is just what I was hoping would be teased out. Who else has got more to add? Let's get this as comprehensive as we can. I think it could be a brilliant thing to point folk to that are new to the scale, or even the hobby! Might win over some doubters too as a bonus...😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_watts1 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Are you including sites such as Noch, Preiser etc for people, animals etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 I have put down Noch for people, but Preiser is not one I'm familiar with. Thanks for the suggestion. One of the YT comments was to have a mainland Europe supplier section - think that makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) SR-3D designs (EBay) do a lot of useful bits, custom station names, level crossings, fences, girder bridges and detailing parts. Very good quality too. Evemodel (Amazon & EBay) sell a vast array of lighting from light signals to street and platform lights, some are listed as TT and others are N but good on size. They also do a lot of model railway electrics, light control boards and power distribution boards so quiet a useful supplier, excellent prices and quality. Railtech for a huge range of TT:120 number, lining transfer sets. Top quality. This Way Works now retail their illuminated oil lamp kits too, best 3D printed lamps so far and with hole to take the LED. Quite a while back someone started a resource listing on the forum but it’s obviously got pushed down the post listings. It’s a shame it wasn’t put as a sticky and updated a bit like the TXS Sound Profile one. Edited August 23 by Rallymatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 Thanks - excellent to glean the knowledge of the forum on this. I did initially consider posting it all to the forum but for exactly the reason of it being difficult to update and access/getting lost I felt a stand alone site would be better. Keep them coming folks - this is great - but also aware that there is so much more to add already!! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47606 Odin Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I have a PADR printed kit of a couple of buildings. Bought via eBay, and the detail and print is much finer than those in the photos. I recommend them. Going to build them up this weekend hopefully and do a review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby11 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) 2 hours ago, GMD said: One of the YT comments was to have a mainland Europe supplier section - think that makes sense. I'm not sure, the two overlap with TT120 as both use the same scale, unlike N and H0/00 so I'd be tempted to keep to just one list but have a designation by the manufacturer's name saying whether British or Continental or Both (such as GB, C or Both). Otherwise you'll have a lot of duplicates as Preiser and Noch figures for instance can be in GB and Continental lists and many Continental building kits can be used for British locations as well, not to mention stock!!

GMD Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 Huge thanks to everyone above for really helping and bringing out loads of manufacturers that I had not included. I will attempt a fairly robust revision of the site and see if I can integrate as much as possible of what is here. Re @BritInVanCA, yes I do have Greenwood Laser at present, but thanks for checking. @ukpetey will gladly check Bunters Yard - thanks. @47606 Odin Be great to hear if your think PADR is worth adding in. Another company I was not aware of. Overall - I knew there would be stuff I had missed out, but confess at the same time I thought I had covered the majority and there may be one or two more to add in, but how wrong I was!!! And thats a great thing. I do think that TT120 is evidently catching the imagination of a wide range of companies and they can see the value in it. In fact, on eBay recently I was looking at a 3d printed model, available in a wide variety of scales. And the TT120 option was marked as it most popular one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilmson Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) Hello GMD alias MacTrains, here is the requested list of continental manufacturers I know of and who are currently producing in TT. Many websites are in the native language and have to be translated using a translation plugin. I have also listed several small but interesting manufacturers and left out narrow gauge, however, as it is too specific. See what you can use. I recommend creating a separate section for mainland manufacturers to make things clearer. It is only intended as an alternative. Scale 1:120 standard gauge Tillig - freight wagons and other Central European wagons; Central European locomotives, TT rail systems Roco - freight wagons and other Central European wagons; Central European locomotives, TT rail systems Piko - freight wagons and other Central European wagons; Central European locomotives Igra - freight wagons and other Central European wagons; Central European locomotives; Lasercut (pre-colored): buildings, bridges, decoration Sudexpress - freight locomotives, freight wagons (still under construction) NPE - freight wagons SDV Model - freight wagons and other Czech wagons; Peresvet - freight wagons and other Central European and Russian wagons; Loco - Czech freight wagons and passenger wagons; MTB - Central European locomotives; American locomotives Busch - freight wagons and other Central European wagons; Accessories (injection molding + lasercut): buildings, decoration, figures, vehicles; Lighting (with LED) Auhagen - injection molded plastic: buildings, bridges, decorations, figures, vehicles; Vollmer - injection molded plastic: buildings Hädl - freight cars and other Central European cars Kres (Fischer-modell) - German railcars and double-decker trains Gützold (Fischer-Modell) - German steam locomotives Saxonia - aging of models; German steam locomotives; laser cut: buildings Schirmer - German steam locomotives BeckmannTT - German locomotives Panzer-shop.nl - 3D printing: vehicles, figures, animals, decorations Modellbahn Union - seller with self-made accessories: buildings, vehicles, figures, animals, decorations Viessmann - lighting (with LED), German signals; Overhead wires Sommerfeldt - Overhead wires KB-MODELL - Lasercut: buildings, bridges, decoration MKB-Modelle - Lasercut (pre-colored): buildings, bridges, decoration JM-Detail - Lighting (with LED); LaserCut: buildings, bridges, decoration MBZ model railway accessories - Lasercut (without color): buildings, equipment Atelier Wepe - Lasercut; buildings, decoration Jako Models - Lasercut: buildings, bridges; 3D printing: decoration Laffont - Lasercut: buildings TT-Koch - Vehicles (transport, agriculture) Minatur - Vehicles; Decoration Weinert - Lasercut+ etching technology: Decoration Artitec - Resin cast: Figures, vehicles, boats, decoration Radestra - Resin cast: Buildings Herpa - Vehicles VV-Model - Vehicles Noch - Figures, decoration Preiser (+Mertens) - Figures ES-Pecky - Decoration Veramo - Decoration Model Scene - Decoration MBR Model - high-quality trees and bushes in TT Polak - grit; meadows, bushes; various ballast in TT grain size: porphyry, melafyr, gneiss, granite, phonolite Digital-Zentrale - accessories, track cleaning, cleaning vehicles Lux-Modell - cleaning vehicles Hack - bridges Voigtländer/Stromlinie - resin and etching kits: German wagons and locomotives Scale 1:125 Diecast Masters - construction site vehicles, open-cast mining vehicles Digital technology suitable for TT: SD-Modell - digital coupling for standard coupling Tillig/Roco(Kühn)/Hornby E-Modell - lighting strips with or without DCC decoder (analog/digital), inexpensive and can be shortened Uhlenbrock - decoder, other digital technology Zimo - sound decoder, other digital technology Esu - sound decoder/decoder, other digital technology Yamorc (former Digikeij) - sound decoder/decoder, other digital technology (switching decoders suppporting strong current) Regards, Ilmson Edited August 24 by Ilmson corrected name 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMD Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Thats some list @llmson - scary in fact, but I will do my very best to integrate as much as I can into the resource hub. Also - thank you to @Les-345151 - all great information.

Generic Hornby Username Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) For those interested in Continental TT, an individual created a TT database with catalogues from various manufacturers going back decades. You'll even see a familiar company's TT catalogue saved! It helps to keep track of what's been created over the years: https://as.rumia.edu.pl/tt/kat/katalogi.asp?co=KATALOGI Edited August 25 by Generic Hornby Username 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilmson Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) 11 hours ago, david_watts1 said: Has anyone mentioned Arnold yet? Yes, I didn't know if he already had it on the list, since Arnold belongs to Hornby. But I forgot one important supplier of turntables, namely HAPO-Bahn. They offer various types in different lengths in TT on request, such as the segment turntable, turntables covered with wood or steel, steam-powered turntables, but also open turntables up to 26m. Fans of transfer tables will not be disappointed either. To find TT on each page, you have to scroll down a little bit. These turntables are powered by an electric motor with a V-belt. The round rubber belt does become brittle after a few years, but can be easily replaced with the rubber belts from Lego, so you don't have to reorder overseas. Since the order is processed manually, you have to look up the number from the catalog and write an email for the order. Edited August 25 by Ilmson Forgot an example link for Lego belts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
