Hello all,
Antonio Banderas would be proud of the musical instrument case pike!
Hope this helps.

Every time I go to a train show there seems to be just a wee bit more on the TT front. Here are a few offerings from the last show.
By the way I still have enough Treble O to fill a 5' x 10' sheet of plywood.

TT scale is a live and well. Although not much modeling is done in the US, Europe has a large following of the 1:120 scale.
One of the reasons for TT not being popular besides what was mentioned in the article is the fact that tiny motors were not available back then like they are today. When Treble O (N scale) came along with the smaller motors it was to late for TT scale to catch up.
There are forums available for the modeler that might be interested in TT scale. One is TTnut.com, there are several Yahoo TT scale forums available also.
Several individuals are interested in getting TT scale back on the map. There are several vendors who provide North American models.
I got intereste in TT scale a couple of years ago. It's a nice size for a layout in a smaller space but yet bigger equipment for the seeeing challenged.
