Hornby TT1:120 in the flesh

Recommended Posts

Being a Londoner I visited Kings Cross today because Flying Scotsman was there

Also Hornby had a stand with a TT layout and had a very long Chat with Simon K. A few pics below taken through acrylic


I will say the quality is as good as the new oo stuff coming out, Also the steam locomotives have full detailed and painted cabs. Considering these are pre production models I was blown away.

i'm now ready to completely off load all of my oo and start rebuilding in TT. Enjoy. Frey.

Up loading in a pub so any questions and any information will be answered tomorrow/saturday..

Hi Guy's, as I only live down the road from kings cross I'm going back again today so will try and get better pictures.

The coaches are all pre production and all have different colours on the paint but the tooling details are there.

, Hornby are not making any railroad items in the TT range,Simon told me this yesterday and we had a very long chat regarding TT. The coaches in the scotsman set are the same as the ones you buy separately just are missing the lights, Simon said he was trying to keep the set prices down he also said this may work out as a false economy having 2 runs on the coaches and said this may change in the future, so the pullmans in the final production in the set and the singles you buy separately will look identical apart from lights.

I have to say the details and quality were amazing and considering these are all samples things will only get better when everything is ironed out.

Later today I will upload more pictures but this time try and get close ups, I will ask Simon if I can get a close up of the cab interiors.

The correct scale/gauge ratio really makes all the difference to the appearance when compared to the Triang TT scale 4’ track. I am too invested in my narrow gauge 16.5mm OO collection to change but I have to admit that they look better, just as P4 does.

Me being me I would actually prefer a Tri-ang set up, with all the inaccuracies included.

That will be great. Pity about the Pullman lights in the sets, but I understand the rationale. Simon seems very approachable.
