Nott120 jumping on the band wagon: OO-12 project…
I enjoy designing kits , and I enjoy the idea of a ‘modellers scale’. 009 used to be like that, and my various Purbeck projects were a proving ground for my scratch and kit design skills.. It wouldn’t be unfair to say that the usual YouTubers have been jumping on the TT:120 band wagon one by one in recent months. Fuelled by chasing alogortithms and views they need something new, something ‘click bait’ to keep seeing the trickle of advertising revenue roll in. Things are different here , and I follow my own path, as you all know. That said, here I am, embarrassingly with the Hornby TT:120 ‘Branch Line’ set… This was too cheap not to experiment with - I have long pondered the opportunity to create some 3ft gauge kits in 4mm scale using the mechanisms but until now prices were high and ambition low. £89 plus delivery though, perhaps this was worth looking into? Would this mechanism be the Bachmann N Percy of 12mm gauge? Shiny box, but rather underwhelming. Contents well packed...
