PECO have announced the launch of TT:120 British Outline Scale track and accessories.

'TT' an historic acronym for Table-Top’ was designed to meet the demands of true scale railway modelling within the space restrictions that many enthusiasts encounter when building their layouts As a result, PECO’s reintroduction of 1 :120 scale factors in all of the detail of much larger scales, yet with the smaller scale assembly benefits of moderate spaces and simplified scale benefits of 1/10 th of an inch to a foot. A significant benefit of TT 1:120 is that it provides an accurate scale to gauge ratio for British outline models compared to other commercially available scales on the UK market.

TT was first introduced in the USA by Hal Joyce of H.P Products in 1945, a year before PECO was founded in the UK, by Sydney and Claudine Pritchard. In deed Mr Pritchard had also conducted experiments in producing British outline models in 1:120 scale but in 1957 Tri ang launched its own version of TT adopting the same gauge of 12mm, but with an increased scale of 1:101.6 (3mm to 1ft).

The PECO TT:120 product range will initially include; Streamline Flexible Track and Medium Radius Turn-Outs, a Signal Box Kit, a GWR Country Station Kit, a GWR Goods Shed Kit, Platform Kits & Buffer Stops. Additional lineside components, accessories and rolling stock are set to follow.
