TT scale never really got off the ground in the western part of Germany. Rokal introduced its first train set in 1949 and slowly extended the range. Right from the beginning, Rokal trains were known for serious quality issues and toy-like appearance, having virtually no chance against the strong brands Marklin, Trix and Fleischmann. In 1960, Arnold introduced N scale, and the slow death of Rokal began. As Knuddelfisch stated, TT scale made a completely different development in eastern Germany, taking the place that N scale had in western Germany. Piko was the only source of N scale there, but they soon gave up in favor of BTTB´s TT scale range. TT scale is now enjoying a growing market share in the united Germany, with many new manufacturers marketing nicely detailed products. In the UK, there are a few modelers building layouts in 3mm to the foot scale, which equals just about TT scale. There is no mainstream supplier, just a few kitchen counter businesses offering kits.
