From Miniature to BIG

Ok, so we've had O, OO and N, so it's only fair I share with you the latest addition to my engine shed which arrived today.  This is the first ever TT120 gauge set I've ever owned (well technically any TT gauge but they are a different scale to this version of TT - long story).  This is the brand new release from Hornby from their brand new TT120 range and is the 'Scotsman Train' set (note: Scotsman as in the service rather than Flying Scotsman as in the locomotive).  I decided to pre-order this as I was very interested to see the models from this new gauge as I wondered how good (or bad) they would be.  So I can tell you I'm pleasantly surprised to say they are way better than I had even hoped, the level of detail is on a par with the bigger OO gauge models right down to even having the cab detail painted - I've tried to capture this in a picture or two, but its not so easy as they are fairly small models even if not as small as N gauge.  The loco and coaches come in at around 7" in length which is nearly half the size of an OO gauge equivalent.  Anyway, enjoy, I can see myself getting more of this range as they get released (this set is the first release and likely only TT120 release this side of Christmas).
