WELCOME TO OUR GIANT SELECTION OF TT GAUGE TRAIN SETS

If you are getting started in the great hobby of railway modelling, there is no better way than with a starter set or train set and we are the go to shop as our selection is as big as any in the world!

TT Gauge is 1:120 Scale and was historically a popular scale in Eastern Europe.  It has some British provenance as it was a commercially available scale many years ago using the TT (Table Top) name but over time, TT Gauge eventually became obsolete.  This changed in the 2020s, when Hornby took the bold decision to reintroduce TT Gauge to a UK audience, branded ‘TT:120’ with a selection of starter sets, locomotives, coaches, wagons, track and accessories.   Unlike the other scales, there is absolutely no scale discrepancy between British TT Gauge and the offerings from other European manufacturers.  This means that everything is completely compatible, from the couplings fitted to the locomotives and rolling stock through to the sizing of the trains themselves, the buildings and the model figures.

The most popular (and only) brand of train set is Hornby although Roco have the potential to produce one in the future.  Hornby TT:120 train sets are offered as standard analogue (DC) train sets and as digital (DCC) train sets.

Train sets are an ideal gift and a popular birthday present and off course, who wouldn’t want to receive a train set for Christmas?

When buying a train set as a gift, you might want to consider a track or building extension set as a supplementary gift as this will add operational interest right from the start, as a thoughtful and useful addition.
