Hi Herbert;

TT scale is extremely rare in USA, much less than 0.1% of model railroaders use TT scale.

Around 80% use HO scale, over 15% are N scale.
Nigel N&W in HO scale, 1950 - 1955 (..and some a bit newer too) Now in San Jose, California

Herr Loeser,
Your English is as good as some of the Americans that use these forums. Mr. Misso told you what the situation is here as regards TT, but if you would like to read more about TT in America, you can read this thread:
http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9893
It does mention a few manufacturers, but unfortunately does not put you in direct contact with an American modeller who builds in TT scale. Even so, I hope this helps you.

Herbert,

Check out this topic (from the "general discussion" channel)

-- http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=1&TOPIC_ID=9893 --

There are at least two posts from other TT scale modellers, on the second page.

Herr Loeser,
I was browsing the site of our National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) at
http://www.nmra.org
looking for something else, but ran across the Special Interest Group (SIG) for TT scale. The URL is:
http://www.grampas-trains.com/ttempire.html
If you visit that site you will find some more information about TT manufacturers and will be able to view some layouts. You should be able to make a connection there. Good luck.
