One of the main advantages of the TT:120 range is the size – ‘TT’ literally stands for ‘tabletop’, and ‘120’ refers to the scale i.e. 1:120. Therefore, the TT:120 is ideal for people who want to start with a compact, yet intricate layout that can be stored easily e.g., under a bed. 

If you are working with a young person, it is probably best to start off with one of the Hornby TT:120 train sets and build your layout from there. However, before buying extra track and letting your imagination run away with itself, think where you will store the layout.

Of course, nothing is stopping you from adding more track and growing the layout and as the selection of TT:120 items is being continuously extended, over time you can design and create your very own, unique, model railway. There is an ever-increasing range of Hornby TT:120 buildings available which are made from hand painted resin which can be just taken out of the box and placed on the layout making things very much simpler and quicker.
