BritInVanCA Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Why would Hornby not provide the dimensions for the newly released buildings? I’ve looked at the Pub and the Church. I can’t see anything. That’s pretty basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 This was raised way back when the range was first launched. I think dimensions were added but clearly not the new additions. It’s such an easy thing to do but so helpful when planning or building layout to make sure everything fits. Can word be passed back to Hornby Towers about this and possibly correct the various incorrect dimensions on coaches etc which I know comes up. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulsanne88 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Agree totally, I am expecting the church this week but I’ve been trying for ages to get its footprint size Hornby made the same church in 00 and even eBay listings don’t give the size which is very frustrating Fortunately the space I have allocated on the layout is big enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moccasin Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Maybe Accurascale can turn to creating 1:120 figures of Father Ted explaining scale to Father Dougal? Possibly with some cows added in? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy absolutely any tv or film related tt figures with vehicles to match of course, Regan and Carter from the Sweeney, Del Boy and Rodney and Bodie and Doyle would be top of the list Edited April 7 by Mulsanne88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy tt Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 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😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbing Bob Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Two buildings arrived this morning, Church 130mm x 82mm x 80mm , shepherd's rest 107mm x 50mm x 64mm The church has four tiny crosses on the roof, the one on the steeple has come off but luckily I found it in the bag, very small, so it's out with the superglue Edited April 9 by Bobbing Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Revell U99 submarine which is 1/125 waiting to become a static museum piece. I bought it for the Flames of War WWII game but that is 1/100 so it would suit TT:120 better.

happy tt Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 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😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_watts1 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 We certainly do take what we can get. I've just won on Ebay a painted stone model of Anne Hathaway's Cottage in 1/125 from Little Dart for the princely sum of £8.68 delivery included. It's amazing what you can find with a little time to spend. I hope it's as good in person as it is in the listing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulsanne88 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Is anyone else rather disappointed by the new Hornby ‘shops’ Neither have any sort of sign on them describing the type of shop so they just look like two small terraced houses The bungalow, pub and church are great but these two shops are distinctly underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuLarge Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I did wonder how they could call it a shop with out a sign, and there's Rallymatt with the answer. They do look like pretty good house models 🤷🏼♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_watts1 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 There used to be a fantastic Fish and Chip shop in Matlock about 45 years ago, it was a mid terrace house and you went up the garden path to it, Run by an old lady called Winnie. No signs, the only way you knew it was there was by local knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy tt Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 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🫣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taunmarc88 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Now a few people may have them on their layouts, how are the buildings looking in relation to each other? I saw the church, pub and bungalow on a YouTubers layout and they all looked different scales? Perhaps it was the angle or camera though. My layout is very small - even the goods shed looks quite large so I’m going to have to choose carefully. I’d be interested to know how people have got on.

Rallymatt Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 The style of the church is certainly one of those small rural chapel types so although the scales are (hopefully) right the actual buildings they are based on might be what’s throwing the look out? Big South Coast retirement bungalow rather than a tiny Scottish Island Croft. Seeing them in reality would really be helpful or next to other ‘known’ size items (not fruit I got told off for that last year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
