Model trains in action on a TT scale model railway layout with diesel and steam locomotives

Pilentum often sees a model railway or a model railroad in TT scale. Although HO scale and N scale are the most popular scales for model railroading, the market for railway modelling in TT scale is growing. Once it was only a scale for model trains in East Germany and Eastern Europe, but now the 1/120 scale is becoming more and more popular for rail transport modeling. So it was not surprising when Pilentum visited a model railway exhibition in Germany that he saw a beautiful designed model railway layout with steam locomotives and diesel locos in TT scale.
The model railroad is constructed as a modular layout consisting of many units. A module is a portable section of table type structure which is but one part of a large group of like tables which when all assembled together form a large and fully operating model railroad. All modules are built to a set of standards that allow each unit to interface exactly with other units anywhere in the overall system. By being portable, they may be disassembled for transporting to conventions, exhibits or public displays.
The layout was built by a German railway club. Because many members of this railroad club live in the former border region between West Germany and East Germany, they have rebuilt - among other things - a GDR border station and a part of the old German border with watchtowers, fences and tanks. The harmony between foreground and background is sensational. Furthermore, the layout consists of a railway depot with engine shed and turntable for steam locomotives.

The rolling stock of bugs is a very nice touch, but also a real given during that period.

Love the roundhouse for the steam engines. We still have several of those preserved in the United States.

Yeah, steam locomotives and roundhouses - that was still a real railroad infrastructure...

Although I have been practicising the three usual scales for quite a long time (having started in the late 50s!), I'm thinking more and more than the 3 'ugly ducklings' (namely I, S and TT) are in fact the best ones, scalewise (detail, size, space needed for a decent detailed layout).

Love this channel i have always loved model railroading as a kid i still do love model railroading today but i have to admit it is very expensive to start a railroading set. But with this channel i can keep up-to-date of the all the model railroading layouts that are shown and get some ideas when i do get the chance to start my own set.

Very nice layout. I want to point out that the BR 218 traffic red o not go good with them IR coaches

It makes a lot of sense to change to TT. Actually, HO is too big and N too small. The 1.8 mm rail is is a great pro! The models are true to scale.

Piękne jak zawsze. Obejrzałem z wielkim podziwem i zachwytem. Miło jest przenieść się do wspaniałego świata, gdzie życie płynie spokojnie, popatrzeć na ludzi którzy nie mają trosk ani kłopotów, gdzie wszystko toczy się w swoim tempie. Miejsce ciche, spokojne a zarazem tętniące życiem. Wszystko to, wraz ze wspaniałym podkładem muzycznym wprowadza w melancholijny nastrój, dzięki czemu można oderwać się od rzeczywistości w której żyje każdy z nas. SUPER, Dziękuję Bardzo. Brawo Pilentum! 👍🚦🚂🚃🚃🚃 (h).

TT would be my favorite scale ... unfortunately , as a man from the 20th Century ℹ don't trust "on-line" ; hobby shops are hard to find ~ and they DON'T carry TT 😖
