This exciting new scale is expanding rapidly. MARK CHIVERS reveals what’s coming up in the next year.
Appearing in the New Model Guide for the first time, ‘TT:120’ scale officially launched in June 2022 when Peco revealed details of a series of new buildings and track for the scale.

The retailer also suggested that it might consider introducing a ready-to-run Class 66 for the scale.

Currently 16 locomotive projects and 34 carriage and wagon projects are in development…
