RogerB has become a TT man so I’m sure he can advise you.

ok thanks for that so the first question

which track is the best?

Personal choice really but Peco points offer a more realistic turnout radius but that can take up more space. Hornby points have a sharper turnout radius, look a bit more toylike and can take up less space. If you are happy cutting track and fitting fishplates then I would go for flexi. If not and space is an issue, it is for me, then setrack is probably best, fishplates already fitted as well. R-

Thanks RogerB

I also run TT, but my choice is governed totally by cost. I only use Peco flexi. I have the t20 FS set, so have a modicum of Hornby track. I have several old Triang TT locos, carriages and wagons, which happily run on flexi. Unlike Roger, i dont have a TT layout, simply run a couple of loops, on my baseboard, among 00 layout. You can pick up a lot of Triang TT on ebay, much cheaper than new Hornby stuff. Tis really down to your budget. There is also a lot of continental TT on offer, which runs well on peco.

So who makes the best TT gauge locomotives steam and diesel

UK or continental locos?

Much bigger selection available in Europe, and to my mind, better build quality. Tillig, worth a look.
