Developing a Model Railway in TT:120 Scale

Explore the possibilities of TT:120, a 1:120 scale between the familiar OO and N scales. David Ashwood shares the club’s experience of developing layouts in this scale, including the decisions involved in choosing a subject and making it work within the available space.

The book follows Holcombe Beach, a display layout depicting a day on Devon’s coastal railway in 1987. Full-length InterCity 125 High Speed Trains pass the distinctive red cliffs shortly before the Great Storm. A second, County Durham-based practice layout provides a different setting for early Hornby steam rolling stock.

Modellers considering TT:120, railway enthusiasts interested in Devon’s coastal line, and anyone looking for examples of planning and developing a layout in a different scale.
