Great presentation and nice to see some alternative ways of doing things. TT:120 has invigorated the model railway scene in UK and brought a lot of people back or into the hobby so great to see more people sharing experience. Reverse loop on HighFell is such a useful feature and works so well in TT:120. 👍

It certainly has shaken things up a bit and as excited as I am to see where it goes in the future, I actually think there's a lot already on the market with which to build a really satisfying layout. Likewise, the reverse loop on this layout is really the backbone of the whole design, otherwise the terminus station on the upper level just wouldn't work. Thanks for watching 😃

Was hotly anticipating this series, and I've even become a channel member so I can keep up with the series. I've been interested in TT since its launch by Hornby over a year ago now. But I have been stuck in a rut about what layout to make. This episode has been helpful, I think I'm going to make a list of what I want to include on a layout and design an interesting enough layout for myself. I've always wanted to make a layout based on geography local to me, but that would require a bit more experience. I've found my 1996 Peco track plan book, and I'm kind of taken by some of their early loop layouts. That also includes a shunting yard and station plus plenty of countryside scenery. One bit that's always worrying me is the wiring, I'm terrible when it comes to electrical work 😢

That's really great to hear and thank so much for supporting the channel by becoming a Member! It's definitely a good start to think about what you want to include on the layout and then design something around those key features. You may find you can't include everything, in which you you start to figure out which are the most important to you. I agree though that some of the early plans, especially those by CJ Freezer, tend to be really good as they were often designed for small spaces. If you're worried about wiring maybe check out my Wiring For Beginners video if you haven't already seen it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3rLn6htfNmMh6s Hopefully that gives you some pointers.

Fantastic video. I'm at the planning stages on my own layout and I've been trying to get my head around wiring, and this really helped me to understand it. The only thing still confusing me is that I'm not sure how the reverser loop is going to work, because I'm planning one myself, because surely you'd have a red wire leading into a black one, which I imagine would cause problems! But it seems like you'll be covering that in the next video, so I'm looking forward to that! Again, great work, and thank you!

Just a thought; if when laying track, you mark out one edge of your cork you could lay to the marking rather than having to guess the centreline. Which of course you are covering up as you go. If you go to an edge mark it can be checked right up until you ballast.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy 6 ай бұрын
I was mostly using the centre line for the curves as here the cork is cut into two strips to allow it to bend. So essentially I lay one section of cork to the outside of the centre line and one section to the inside. For the curves it was essential to get the correct radius and I didn't want to take any risks by adapting it for the edge of the cork. For the straights I only marked the centre line at the end of the stretch, showing where the centre line needed to be at that point. So the cork was just laid in a straight line to match up with this marking at the end. It's all personal preference though and I just find I tend to get better/smoother results by using the centre line. Thanks for watching 😃

Excellent video . Glad to see you are attempting a proper layout rather than the simplified track mat type layout others use . Even the Hornby Mag layout is essentially a roundy roundy , but here we have inclines a shunting yard and a terminal station too. This to me is what TT120 is about , the ability to get a reasonably complex and interesting operational layout in a relatively small space . I have a large loft layout in OO , lots of locos , firmly DC . But I am interested in creating a TT layout in my old office, now I’ve retired . Blue Grey HSTs etc perhaps with sound controlled by HM7000 , so really interested in how you get on .

@ThatModelRailwayGuy 6 ай бұрын
We definitely did a lot of work to get the track plan just right before starting the build. Some of the first versions were just awful with trying to cram this amount of stuff in. For me it all works because of the reverse loop which allows locos to essentially return to where they started from, whether that be the upper level station or the lower level yard. There's some great opportunities for both shunting or just letting trains run - best of both worlds really. Thanks for watching 😃

It depends what you want from a layout. Personally I think a fiddle yard represents the "rest of the world" and is where the trains go after they leave the current area - just like a real railway. But I can also appreciate those who want their entire layout to be scenic. It was a nice challenge to design something that could be used as a fiddle yard without it being too obvious.

thanks for that very inspirational video and being a newbie to model railways. I’m always learning, every little helps. It would’ve been good to know how you actually bent the track. Some use track settas which I’ve used and I’ve just recently fastened a load to MDF board all the way from radius one to 6 so that will no doubt help me in the future, also I use a very nifty Handy little gadget from West Hill wagon Works to fit The fish plates/rail joiners onto the track some use a bent piece of track which they’ve had leftover. It would’ve been good to see how you actually fitted yours. It looks as if your bus wire came from eBay as it looks very much like mine 😀 Keep up the good work 👌🚂

I'll be very interested to see this develop as I'm planning on building a twin track TT120 shortly. Its been a long time since I've built anything so watching this video is very helpful, though I'd love to see the construction of the board itself covered. I appreciate the space constraints, but 2ft 6 is very tight. Most of the Hornby stuff runs on 2nd radius curves or above, so you just have space for the equivalent of 2nd and 3rd radius curves, and the trains appear to be running fine. I'd love a 8ft long layout, I just can't find the space for that so mine will likely be 6ft absolute max, though I think I can have a 3ft or more width.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy 6 ай бұрын
This is essentially why we went for TT. Fitting a circuit of any kind into the depth we had available would have been almost impossible in 00 or would have limited us to only the smallest tank engines. The right hand side is a bit tight with the third line on the incline too but the inner line is only just under 2nd radius - the key is keeping the curves smooth and consistent rather than having kinks halfway through.

probably too late but a tip I found with PECO track is where possible solder wires to the underside of metal rail joiners, solder takes to them much more securely I have found. also means they can be made easily away from the layout with a short section of rail secured upside down into a block. went with gluing all track down here, the Chadwick copydex method, for tighter curves the ability to easier lift and adjust proved very useful. also better for sound insulation, nails far faster though. really loving this sort of "first steps" stuff
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy 6 ай бұрын
The issue with soldering to the joiners is that you're relying on the continuity passing through to the rail. It'll most likely be fine initially but 5-10 years down the line as dirt gathers in the join it could become an issue. Soldering directly to the rail avoids this. Have to admit I'm not a fan of gluing down the track unless I really have to. I often find that you need to adjust it long after the glue is set. For example the tight curves here all seemed fine but once I got power to the track and ran some trains I needed to make some small but crucial adjustments. Sound insulation isn't really an issue either since once the ballast goes on that passes the vibrations through to the board anyway. But they're all valid techniques, whatever your personal preference is the best way to do it. Thanks for watching 😃

Your tube/piano wire method takes me back to where I wanted to be. If that was the only thing I got from this that would be enough. But to add an upper level. That's it - my original 8'x4' plan is totally out the window. Luckily the baseboard is still a blank, undrilled canvas. I've currently only got Hornby points but are the Peco unifrog ones ok without the Hornby reverse loop module for a reverse loop? I already know the Peco flexi track is brilliant.

Genuine question (from a newbie who is looking at building a tt layout...Why the need of a dcc controller instead of a bus wired Hornby transformer...to then run on HM7000? ...also, are all the points medium radius peco? Thanks
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy 6 ай бұрын
Hiya, two reasons - firstly it gives me options so that we're not tied to using the HM7000 system for every loco. The Class 08 for example needs a 6 Pin decoder which currently isn't available for HM7000. It also means we're not locked into using one single device to control the layout too. Second and more importantly, because of the reverse loop. We need to be able to use a DCC Autoreverser to swap the polarity in that section and the module we're using was designed for DCC. It might work on just a Hornby transformer powered layout but I don't really want to take that risk. Yes all the points shown in this episode were PECO's medium radius turnouts but we'll be using their short turnouts later on in the build. Thanks for watching 😃

Glad you enjoyed it! Most of the locos are actually fitted with HM7000 decoders but the problem is the reverse loop in the plan. You need to have a reverse loop module to flip the polarity of the rails and that can only be done on DCC or analog currently. The DCC-EX system is fairly inexpensive and gives us the best of both worlds, so we can operate using the HM7000 app or different app for locos not fitted with those decoders.

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy Their pricing does fall in line with other locos similar in quality but I mean to say there isn't a "budget" option (like the hornby railroad range) or a large second hand market in the way that there is in OO. But, I am excited to see what will be available in the future. I think the squeezing of others out of the market comes from how they treated Heljan by choosing to make the same 3 models as them right off the bat. They can do what they want but if I was trying to establish a new scale I'd do my absolute best not to do that to anyone. Either way I love the advantages of TT so I really hope I'm wrong! It does give those of us with 3D printers an opportunity to fill the gaps in the market for a few years till the ranges fill out properly :)
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy 6 ай бұрын
Hornby are able to do the Railroad range because they have a large number of older toolings that are decades old which can be rerun at lower prices. That obviously doesn't exist in TT and it's why no other manufacturers have a budget range in 00. Even so, I think TT is aiming to fill the gap between Railroad and the super detailed models for people who want a realistic looking railway but at more realistic prices. And let's be real, Heljan could have absolutely stuck with TT if they wanted to and could have easily beaten Hornby to the market. But as soon as Hornby showed they were serious about TT and actually had their first models ready to go, Heljan ran for the hills. They most likely hadn't even started work on their TT models. I don't always agree with Hornby but I'm not a fan of the negativity they seem to get just because they're the most popular manufacturer.

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy I absolutely agree on the price front. That's my point really I'm excited to see a day when they do have this back catalogue and they can be open to younger modellers. I'm a student and £136.99 for an 08 shunter is very unrealistic for me. I am very glad it exists for others and I'm excited to see what comes of it in the longer term when the second hand market begins to fill out. So far as the Heljan situation I absolutely get where you're coming from and it makes sense. My only point with it is that if I wanted as many people in the space as possible I wouldn't put any roadblocks in the way of other people. Especially others who announced before me. I think you can ascribe it to a break down in coms between these companies. I'm not saying it's necessarily malicious but I do think they get in their own way sometimes. Which with a huge company is gonna be a challenge I suppose. But like I said they can do what they want. I just don't understand why they're so attached to all 3 of those models so strongly when there are hundreds of others to pick from many of which they'll have cad drawings to base their work off from their OO gauge variants. At any rate I'm glad you're showing some love for TT in this series I really do want to see it grow!
