TT and 3MM scales lost one of their most active advocates in June 2007 due to a
heart attack.
May all your signals be green and all switches aligned to the main.

Welcome to the TT Scale SIG Home

OUR 25TH YEAR-TT IS ALIVE AND WELL
TT Scale contains no cholesterol,
saturated fat or preservatives.
TT (Table Top) has been around for many years. At a scale proportion of 1:120 (1/10"=1 Actual Foot), TT is 27% smaller than HO Scale and 33% larger than N Scale. Since 10 scale feet equal 1", TT is easy to convert and determine the size of any of the items you model in TT. A 40' boxcar is 4 inches long. A 80' passenger car is 8" long. With TT you can have the best of all worlds: plenty of layout (track, scenery, etc.) and still be able to produce highly detailed rolling stock and buildings. TT is truly a worldwide scale as we have members and manufacturers from North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia and New Zealand. You have a choice of US style or European/Asian style equipment and buildings. TT is a true Scratch Builders scale but there is plenty of Ready to Run and Shake The Box items available. There are Narrow Gaugers, 3mm organizations and several other groups within TT that specialize in areas not found in other scales. Give TT a whirl, it will open an exiting door to the truly worldwide experience of Model Railroading in TT.
