<p>TT scale is alive and kicking in my country. Quite a number of new players have entered this growing market in recent years.</p> <p>I West Germany, TT scale was the unloved stepchild with only one manufacturer in the market. Rokal went belly-up in the late 1960´s and that was more or less the end of that scale in the West. Eastern Germany was quite different. There was also only one manufacturer - Zeuke, later BTTB and now Tillig, but the people were used to that in the communist part of my country. Auhagen provided accessories and TT scale enjoyed a quite large market share - without the competing N scale. Piko dabbled a little in that scale, but it never got off the ground properly.</p> <p>After the fall of the Berlin Wall, TT scale made the march into the basement and spare bedrooms of the West. We now have Tillig, Roco, Piko, Kühn, Gützold, Auhagen, Faller, Kibri, Viessmann and lots of smaller, cottage type businesses to cater for the TT scale aficionado.</p>
