TT:120 is an alternative to N Gauge which I think many people find is too small for their eyesight. It is good that Hornby have introduced this range, and we can only hope that they stay with it and do not lose their nerve about continuing to produce it! Thanks for uploading.

My dad build me a TT train in the 1970's it was produced in east Germany, but had to leave it behind when we escaped communist east Germany in 1979 and moved to the US where I still reside today. Many fond memories of my Dad and I working on it. Thanks for the refresher in these memories.

I'm well impressed with the progress of your layout 👍

Hi Simon, I agree it’s a cracking model, just a shame they didn’t make more use of the acres of space inside the body, like fitting a flywheel as per the illustration in the instruction leaflet. I’ve still pre-ordered the other two though 😂

Ran my 08 for about 9 hours on garden railway with no problem using bachmann dc controller. Only slight problem was i cant put a driver in there as the detail cab kit is stuck in. Mine also stuck on the hornby points on Acton Wells but these not wired up yet so not worried,

Intriguing to see that £80 is considered good value, primarily due to it being £118 RRP... this despite it coming direct from Hornby. i mean it looks great but, no flywheel, and no sprung buffers, youd probably expect more for that money if you're honest. The detail does look great on tt120 but lets not immediately forget that Simons original vision was to allow families with less room to buy into the hobby and at these prices that just doesn't seem to tie up imo.

Nice model train there. I mostly do N gauge and now back onto OO gauge in limited form as I do now have another loop of Kato UniTrack with the new style controller.

Good video thanks lee

For me Simon, this is the only loco in TT that I would br interested in. Hornby have gone for the past, how do they think the younger generation (I am 62) would want take to a couple of old Kettles A3-4's (stuck in the past) as a in sight to railway modeling is behond me! At one show Milton Keynes my friends son asked Simon about modern locos for TT and was given a very hard shoulder by Simon, not great for his company (Hornby) but also a few people walked away.

I could get sound in it ,no problem.

Nice little loco Simon Nick Australia

TT : 120 seems a nice size to model. But I have been OO gauge for over 50 years. N gauge is great too. But OO I go on :o) . Regards Al ...

Hi Simon. The layout is looking great. I love the hill and tunnel. As for the Shunter. It does look nice. But I think the price is a bit of a rip off considering it is mostly plastic. I do hope Hornby at some point allow their TT range to be sold at other retailers.

There is room for a Dcc sound setup it’s been done already on youtube

What is the size of your board?

One thing about hornby that I bought a week ago and I was not impressed at all. I got refund so it was good for a trial. There is no variety of the steam locos, becuae they have mostly the same body and case just different paint or little modifications one thinggood about hornby that they use tillig issued couplers in contrast to roco.

I have no interest in TT or Hornby.
