I've long been fascinated by Tri-Ang's TT Gauge models, produced in the 50s and 60s. I know it was never very accurate, and the range was very limited, but I do like it, and wondered if it's easy or practical to acquire and run this stuff these days.
I know that the locos were built like little tanks and are pretty robust and simple, so it's easy enough to keep them going - I had a couple of vintage OO locos from a similar period when I was a kid. The big questions are...
Is TT stuff easy to obtain, and does it go for sensible prices?
Is it worth the hassle of dealing with VERY old kit?
Does anyone else out there run any vintage TT, and do they have any hints and tips?
Possibly insane, but...vintage TT and DCC? Can it be done?!?
