Charlie Bishop onm the Chadwick Model Railway channel did a review this week on a Hornby TT:120 train set. He tried to make a circle of track and found there was a massive overlap, so when he joined it up, it forced it out of alignment by a significant amount.

Yes, I saw that too. You end up with a raised inner rail on the curves. It looks like that track needs to be pinned down to a board to stop that problem. Off course Hornby claim that its OK.

Good review Simon, for me Peco every day, Hornby cheated with using two sections to make a longer length of setrack (the sane as they do with OO gauge) the point blades (Swing area) looks far better on the Peco over the Hornby. On another note taking apart your track will make the fish-plates loose & add to more track curcuit failures!

Just a comment about meauring using the digital calipers. If you measure the width of one sleeper and zero the reading at that setting you can then measure the spacing as you were over the outside of the two sleepers but you have automatically already subtracted one sleeper width digitally. Just saves any error which may arise through arithmetic. This tip is also useful for other functions of the caliper.

That was a really interesting watch Simon! From your comparison I think Peco is definitely the way to go for a permanent TT layout, unless it's an actual table top layout, as I find gentle curved points to be the enemy of space! Obviously you need more room to complete the curve - unless you drastically reduce the radius leaving the point, which rather defeats their purpose! Haha! The "Bridge of Doom" was definitely a perilous construct! Glad everyone survived the journey! All the best, Ian.

Dear Simon, love the comparison, humbly think the Peco track looks much, much better than the Hornby version. Especially those awkward sleepers they’ve put in the middle of the set track pieces look horrendous. Further, they should have learned by now, that the rail chairs can indeed be as small as their competitor’s. Would be interesting if you would also compare Trix or Arnold track in TT. What truly sets me off from the entire Hornby TT initiative, is that they only sell this scale through their designated TT web portal. Excluding hobby shops to sell their TT products isn’t the way to go. Rather is it a kind of odd way of thinking. Especially for a company which is so brazen on its efforts for innovation in model railroading. Still am of the opinion it’s a kind of ‘Lionel’ step to secure this market niche as an old school monopolist. Companies like Hornby should support hobby shops, rather than attempt to phase ‘m out. So, overall love your vid, but most definitely have my own thoughts on H’s TT re-introduction. Cheerio

@speleokeir Жыл бұрын

A some points about Hornby's decision to make it online only: 1) Hornby have said they discussed it with some of the model shops who were happy for Hornby to take the initial risk. Buying in a load of Hornby TT stock which may or may not sell is a big risk for the model shops until it gets established. It sounds like the model shops are okay with this for the moment. 2) Hornby have made a huge investment and taken all the risk so it seems fair they get the reward. 3) Cutting out the middleman means Hornby can price TT competitively which will boost initial sales and help the gauge get established. It also allows Hornby to do discounts and offers without upsetting the model shops, something they can't do with OO. 4) TT is already popular in the US, Europe and Japan, so unlike OO is a world market. In this age of internet shopping it makes sense to have it online. 5) Hornby have said they may well bring the model shops in at a later date. In Australia it's actually being sold to via a retailer that Hornby have a long relationship with, which shows they are open to the idea. Currently Hornby have a monopoly of TT, but in order to make a success of it will need to make it affordable compared to other gauges. Keeping it all in house will help them do this. Remember Hornby have been posting losses each financial year for some time so they need to make TT a success, plus make it attractive to newbies. TT has a lot of advantages over OO for Hornby: - It takes up less room making it more attractive for people new to the hobby. - The small size also means transport costs are reduced, baring in mind these have gone up 500%+ since Covid. - It's a world market as opposed to a mainly UK one. - They're not missing out on sales to the secondhand market or rivals and whilst this will change over time it will take a while. - The age profile for OO customers is quite elderly and they're not being replaced by younger modellers. What happens when they pass on? Hornby need a new customer base and are hoping TT will encourage more people into the hobby. Surely a good thing. I hope it's a success, though how successful it will be in getting new people into the hobby remains to be seen.

@xylicable Жыл бұрын

It seems Hornby have decided to model the look of their TT track based on their OO track which looks like toy train track. As this is a brand new design and new tooling required, it seems ashame not to at least tried to make it look like real track. I suppose they made this decision to make it look like toy train track rather than having to choose British outline, Continental or American, in the belief that they would not be restricted to one geographic market? The Hornby stuff looks like overpriced 1970's rubbish. Love the use of the "C" programing book! Nice video, thanks for uploading.

A good and very useful video. I understood that Peco was code 55 and Hornby code 80, but you're saying that's wrong. I also asked Simon Kholer at Warley if the two were compatable and was told not at present as they were slightly different heights. However clearly that's not correct either. I do like Peco's unifrog points. Twice the price but I guess you get what you pay for. I understand both manufacturers have more track in the pipeline. Hornby have double straights, flexit track and different radius curves and I think both intend to bring out additional point sizes. Overall I agree Peco track looks the way to go.

12mm track produced by Peco was actually for HOm gauge. They have relabelled it to fit in with the new development of TT. The same track is used for meter gauge railways such as the Rhaetian Railway in Switzerland. I use this on my HOm layout and there are pin holes. Peco also produce 'Electrofrog' turnouts which of course requires different circuit wiring. It seems that Peco have increased their prices. I never have paid £18 for a turnout.

@robelvery Жыл бұрын

An interesting comparison though I suppose for a fairer like for like comparison you'd have to wait for Hornby to release their flexible TT track. I'm surprised the two systems are compatible as I was lead to believe the Peco system is of a finer scale but now it's clear they are both Code 55. It would be good if Hornby could make an agreement with Peco and get them to make track for them as in the case of OO setrack the two systems are almost identical. The good thing with the Peco system is that it's manufactured in the UK. One distadvantage of setrack in most gauges is that funny unrealistic joined sleeper. I'm not sure what the reasoning behind that is. I can remember when Hornby first introduced Code 100 setrack (what they then called System 6 Track) back in the early 70s they didn't have those strange sleepers.

I would have had the top point facing the other way just in case it was set wrong resulting in the whole train nosedived onto the floor. 😲 The odd sleepers in the middle of the Hornby track are because they're for two half straights. They just use the same webbing to save money. I note that neither Hornby or Peco have taken the opportunity to improve their track systems. It looks like they've just scaled down the 00 track. They could have got rid of those ugly elbows in the movable parts of the points for instance.
