Reopening "Why don't they make?"...

[yelrow]

I dont think 90% of modellers are at all interested in scale accuracy, be it 0,00 tt,n orz scales. They have bought in to the love of model trains. I have a lot of HO stuff. It runs at the same time as 00. Until i joined a forum, i had no idea that it was that different. The steam locos are slightly smaller, but the diesels are about the same. My MTD, locos, are to my eye, the same. I bought them ( MTD) that is, because they are beyond doubt, the finest locos, on offer. Unfortunalely, they are also, the dearest.

If it looks right it is right.

No idea about TT but I do think that P4 looks better than OO but I will not be changing as I am happy with my OO gauge. I cant see the point of changing to TT unless it is to get more into a smaller space and I would not have thought it made that much difference. Changing for change sake if you ask me.

TT, stands for Table Top. The whole idea was designed for smaller layouts.

[Walkingthedog]

It has been around for a long time. I’ve seen some excellent TT layouts as shows.

Not really Sandy. Change to TT for me is due to moving to a bungalow with less space than before. Progress slightly halted at present due to little track currently being produced in UK by Peco. There is Tillig of course but that’s a bit dearer as it comes from Germany. R-

[Walkingthedog]

I think you made the right choice Roger. Bit smaller than OO but a lot easier to handle than N.

[RogerB]

Definitely. I did briefly look at a couple of N layouts at a recent exhibition. No chance I could cope with that. R-

I must have miss judged TT Roger as I was under the impression it took up as much space as oo does. I do agree that TT is better size than N which would be too small for my old eyes.
