TT Scale

I think tt scale came out concurrently with n scale or close to it. The size is close enough to n that most modelers chose to go in the direction of n scale. It is kind of like the difference between ho and oo. Tt was popular in Eastern Europe I believe, but in the West n killed it.
 
Hi Cid,
TT, stands for Table Top.

TT came out long before N did. I always figured that the problem was that it wsn't enough smaller than HO. I think that the difference needs to be about half, and TT's drop of 2/3 - 3/4 wasn't enough. (Same problem with S gauge.)(now we'll hear from TR).
American TT never got past the craftsman stage. There weren't many manufacturers supporting it, HP products was the biggest.
Scale was 1/10" = 1' (1:120). Gauge was .471"
Britain, of course, came out with TT3 which was 3mm = 1', 12mm gauge. Major support is now from a society.
 
well-i had(may still have???) some tt gear
it was my dads-when he was a teenager
and im in my mid 30's now
id be betting it predated n by about-oh 2 or 3 decades minimum
btw his was all triang(turned into hornby didnt it??) and was about halfway between ho and n in size
