Technically TT is not a new scale size Super, Hornby back when it was 'Triang Railways' had a range of TT models around the 1950's, however at the time they didn't really adhere to the true TT scale and the loco's were nearer to 1/116 I believe (I'm sure Chris will correct me if I'm wrong). At the time it was a very popular scale as being smaller it suited the homes in the UK which typically are a lot smaller than those in the USA so space is always a premium. However after a number of years the Triang TT range was scrapped, much to the pity of many people and has since become massively collectible. Things are different in Europe though and TT in the correct 1/120 scale has been available ever since and is very popular apparently, especially in Eastern Europe where Piko is one of the main supporters of the format.
As this new version from Hornby is 1/120 (hence why they call it TT120 to distinguish it from the older incorrect scale Triang TT) so will be compatible with the Piko and other brands out there in Europe which gives them a ready made market. All being equal this should result in a successful new range worldwide rather than just in the UK.
Anyway if I find any other scales I'll let you know - maybe 009 would be a good one as there are some lovely little small holder loco's in that scale

Happily collecting things all my life...
