Nice. Didn't know that there was so much TT3 locos and stock available.

@Mountain Goat, its not TT3, it is TT120
The difference being the 1:120 scale instead of the old 1:101.6, track remains the same gauge.
Currently in steam, several versions of A1/A3, A4 and Princess/Duchess class locos in steam with a J50 due end of year-ish.
In Diesel Class 43, Class 50 and Class 08, with a class 66 due end of year or early next.
Mk1, MK2 and MK3 coaches, LMS/BR 57'S as well as steam era Pullmans and freight stock from Era 2 to Era 11.
Not bad considering Hornby only Launched the new British outline range 2 years ago !

Is TT3 the Triang vsrsion and TT120 the Hornby version?
(Sorry as I assumed when other mentioned TT3 that Hornby had gone into TT3. Getting confused by what was said in the past. I know the two are different)..
Just to clarify... TT is 3mm to the ft scale. What is TT120?

No problem Mountain Goat, yes Triang is TT3, Modern Hornby TT120.
TT120 is 2.54mm to the Foot
Understandable that their can be confusion given they are both labeled TT, but place loco's or rolling stock from Triang TT next to Hornby TT120 and the scale difference is is very noticeable !

Not quite the same Brake van, but enough to see the differences:

Are both brakevans TT? (Or is the one on the right 00?)
Quite a difference between them.
