happy tt

a very nice repaint it looks great in br blue it will go with a 37 in br blue or a 47 good luck with 08 😊

hi @Rustyjt welcome my HST wouldn't go around my bends without coming apart i turned them end for end and they were fine ,so what stock have you purchased so far and what locos and liveries would you need i don't worry about stuff like that i run german locos and british locos on the same layout i run what i like . some model pre war one and some 1918 to 1939 some are post war two say up to the end of steam or br blue i myself like 1995 to now if you add in GWR as well sorry if i mist you out TT120 is a broad church we could all say the same thing locos and a integrated plan and more liveries GWR .I modelled in n but oo had far more locos so i went back to it so i model in both TT and oo but they a in the cupboard now as they cost to much and i love TT120 and all the german rolling stock lol😊

😊i am glad he asked about the class 50 in gbrf , that's the one i wanted to get ,a very good interview with carl and martyn , four new locos and different class 66 for the european market plus a class j50 with sound . I love my euro rolling stock so more 66s to get . i find myself saying no more lol for now 😃 and then class 37s by end 2025 and then followed in 2026 by a class ( )let your mind run wild a class 92 or a warship class 26 or 27 in g n e r , green or br black plus rolling stock who know's im glad they are small so easy to store for now 😊

hi come to think of it i have got some points a class 66 less than fifty that could be good . thats one way to get a cheap donation loco, save points up order more trains😃 a project to work on when they get here in the winter or a bit sooner😃 i meant to say trees not three it was late in last reply

@Rallymatt i think when it come's to price of locos we think we pay the most for them because we are cut from the rest of the world, if we had ho instead oo we would be more in line with european and usa for the same type of model 0-6-0 2-6-0 4-6-2 or diesel electric we would be more price wise if a model was cheaper in germany or higher in usa . or the same , if a company price was in line with the rest or they where ripping us off if so we could order from europe. if it's cheaper like we can with TT120 , anold is cheaper in europe than uk £11 in one case after p+p 😊 i was very happy the cl 66 is a great looking model mine will cost me £106 -15%=£89 +10% not bad ,but i want the one carl had in GBF +sound

@Postman On The Rails great minds think a ljke and all that , have good day or night when you read this . how is you layout going im adding trees i got from msl ,in germany i got some cheap noch threes and doll them up they don't look so bad with 1mm static grass glued to them , i have had them for an age i got a few more to do .so good luck with your layout🙂

well done both of you i bet you where tired after all that talking about model trains to simon .martyn and carl . thank you GMC and PEACHY you did the TT120 community. a great service on that day to steady the ship against ytube tidal wave and hurricane of negative comments, TT120 is not a boat and will not sink without a trace 😄 peachy you vid is doing ok over 1500 views when i look not bad . i know how many are TT120 modellers ? I hope they all are 😊 ps to myself one class 66 in gbrf livery please

a very good idea two cl 66 would look great on my layout . if you take the motor out of one you have got a dummy loco . and keep the motor safe as a spare one for future use 😄

@hobby 11i hope this is the right one there are a few hobbys on this forum . i ask for a moderator to look at my replies to peachy and you to make sure that i did not cross a line and mislead people . i asked peachy to ask instead of me as he carries more clout in the forum than me i think i forgot to put lol in my first reply . it is just me i had to check it was ok in one of my first threads i said about someone who has a blue carpet and got a lot of bad replies why did i pick on s--and this forum is not like that so i did not post for a few weeks so i would read but not write a word ,so happy modelling in a great scale TT120 in the best hobby in the world

@Peachy sorry for my reply to your post about what dock 040 shunter will be in a set. apparently many people on this thread believe it to be true that you can put a model oo loco input data at 67 % in to a printer and it will come out has a TT120 model i have been informed by member 1707822967 in three reply's. it was a joke about hornby producing a cheap set with a dock shunter lol 🙂 . peachy can you please ask the mods to look at my replys on this thread and member 1707822967 to me to see if my replys where ok , and warn people about it thanks 🙂

@ hobby 1707822967 sorry it was a joke lol 😊 in anwser to peachy post about if a 040 dock shunter will be in a set. i know it takes a lot of time to make model trains sorry for the misunderstanding i have been in this hobby for thirty years i wish printers🙂 could do it all lol 060 will be in a set

yes they run fine on my track and over points really smoothly watch the clearance i had to move a tree

peachy what about a bagnall shunter hornby they have got one line up for this year in OO at £34 pounds in the railroad range It looks very nice to me , all they have to do is turn the printer down to 67% i think and add three trucks an ovel of track a controller a track mat all for less than a £100 pounds win win for hornby😀

you guys did great i really enjoyed it ,nice chat with carl and martin . so refreshing ,it cleared a few things up for me and the rest of the TT120 community i hope towards the missing items in the catalogue. if they had a factory hornby could order what they liked its the same with the chips a small fish in a very big sea lol i did not get the joke until i read it ,when i saw the class 66 in gbf it was 😍 got to get one so they are going to look at the wagon side frames and make them of metal maybe with plastic on top has detail parts ,what carl said about the 50' brake lowering the bogies with a washer ,i had a look on msl on the tillig page the same mail coach TT16818 HO 74961 ,the tt one you can see all of the wheel flanges below the body and in the ho one you can't see the tops of the wheels the rest are not so clear cut so i think the TT wheel bogie passes under the body on bends where the ho one does not it stays inside it maybi rallmatt or peachy can have a look my eyes a not so good ,if so hornby should get a few to compare with tilig have been at it for years thanks guys

sam sam sam what should i say i liked his revlew of the bachmann b1 . he even said the hornby b1 one was better shock horror ,so i just watched the april release one it was a shock. why go on about the price of TT120 if lts small it is harder to work on it takes more time =more cost labour . shipping on ships or get santa to do on is 364 days of far cheaper hornby could save money . i agree with peachy in hjs post on youtube and every one here . I know that if i down size i can take my layout with me so the scale is great for me i would never belittle someones model railway whatever size it is or scale i was hopping mad at the comments hornby and TT 120🤐 received roll no the end of year statement we might just see how well TT120 is doing and some company might join in the fun a j26 or p2 j27 in TT 120 would be a nice mid size loco 😀

we had shops like that mid terrace but no gardens ,the door was always open all gone now. it had to happen one day in the summer, i walked in the next house down open door by mistake oops sorry ,and can i have some milk trying to hide my red face 🫣,and beat a swift retreat out the door and into the right one. yes the people in the shop did laugh so you could model it ,and add a teen being chased out the door down the street it could have happened but They knew me 😁lol🫣

hi david we take what we can get for now and with some good imagination and hey presto it appears. before our eyes, i really like the bush inn pub i will have to buy more british stuff to build my new layout . thanks to me getting the class 43 HST set i could not resist it ,My old layout is very german set in black forrest i like the piko locos i have got nine and the rolling stock is very nice . so i will have to swap them and put one away in my half of the wardrobe and take it out when i get bored that does limit the size but 5'4"in x 2'8" max is not too bad in TT120 scale😊

I think you can get the cuttyshark sailing ship by airfix in 1:130 nice of a museum ship in a dock. lucky mike didn't say TT1:120' ft that could be a hard layout to fit in stonehenge let alone a small house lol😊

mine came in one box , but i did not order 20 items only the class 43 s and some mk3 so free delivery . I thought i would have to pay for more than one boxed item with my luck and have to pay three lots p+p instead. does it still happen now 🤣

It's very much like my layout ,it has a main loop with sidings that form inside and outside loops.but not with a fiddleyard but all landscape in that area instead for trains to run through. my station is on the inside edge of the main line at the front of the board the goods dept is in the same place ,so the goods dept is like a letter Y with an extra Y added to it. so one main spur and two side spurs off it for the goods yard. and i have got a small town to the right instead of the tunnel mouth i do like your plan i might borrow it when i build my new one . the point at the front of the board the track spurs off goes along the edge and does not bend in like you's. and goes past the small building and along the front of the board until it reaches the left edge to meet up with the fiddleyard. i am lucky i can have a small fiddleyard on the left by the use of a loose pin hinge, but i got to keep the boards under 86cm wide X140cm long or high ,so they will go in my half of the 4 door wardrobe in my bedroom .The doors are 46cm each very tight ouch my fingers now you see it - now you don't 😂 🫣 lol happy wife happy life😊

look on page 4 same fault as yours the post is by simon m hope it helps good luck 😊

i have got a couple of them but i mist out on the grey one ,they look great on my layout . I can't wait to get some more .if we could get different containers from anold and hornby to put on them like they do in oo a pack of three would be nice . and hornby and airfix please some nice boats in TT 120 scale would be great a fishing boat to start with😊

I would not like mike to design and build my new layout for me 6 in by 4in is too small even for 1st rad curves lol 😄 i can't wait for the class 37 im glad it is next year i think i will run out of money ate this rate. so much to like i just got a class 43 two weeks ago, hornby doing the containers is great 10% in points thats good i got some arnold ones at the start of the year don't think i got points for them i might be wrong all i got say is happy spending ever one 😊

i like the stuff he does too, his last layout build was good and when he went to the model show with it and put all the boards together i would love to do that one day. so he is going build a TT120 to show that will be at least two TT120 layouts on the model show circuit not too bad+hornbys all very good for TT120 and sam give the class 43 hst a very good review Things are looking up at last 😊

Hi all i love this type of couplings well i did on my piko tillig anold and the class 43 power cars. but add a mark 3 into the mix and love turns to hate lol they are coupled for now if i don't take them off the track that is fun and games to get them to couple again well its the end of the fun for now new couplings i think😊
