Thank you for starting this up David;
It will be advantageous to have all T gauge related material in one place rather than having to flit around the other forums getting information and developments.

Glad to see more T gauge out there. Thank you for creating the forum David. I look forward to seeing others modeling efforts and hope to do some of my own soon.

Regards,

Hi all,

Very interested in this 'curiously small' gauge and the prospect of a new challenge is enticing.

At the very least, it should help my nscale modeling!

UPDATE*
My order has been placed and I should be receiving my Osaka, Yamanote sets and 132r track in a week or so. Really hoping to take a serious run at this.

Hi Guys, as you probably know, I am a T Gauge foamer too! I was an N Scaler, because I though N was small.

Then I found American Z Scale, and switched. About 2 years ago I heard about T, and have been impatiently waiting.

Now it's just coming out, and so far, so good. Thanks David for creating a forum for T, it's just what T needs. Just what WE need! Smile

Hi guys.

Ian (Trainspotter-USA) pointed me in the direction of this forum. I mainly model in 'N', british outline but hte appeal of 'T' was far to strong for me!

I've got a couple of 4 car sets on ordfer and one each of the loops of track to evaluate where to go with these little (very little!) trains. I hope to have a crack at producing some british outline multiple units from these, after all it'd get a bit boring if every 'T' layout featured nothing but series 103 units.

I'm the first to admit that I know absolutely nothing about US outline operations, so a quick google of 'Budd RDC' has left me wasting the last 20 minutes or so pouring over prototype information. What a fantastic prototype!

Anyway... I eagerly await my order freom Plaza Japan. Cool

RDC's are awesome little cars, and very popular over here. When I get my 103's, they very well may become Canadian proto RDC's.

Budd's update of the RDC concept, the SPV-2000 of around 1980, is also an interesting subject. Kind of an RDC of the "Amfleet" generation.

Welcome new members! I have to say I didn't expect this kind of turnout when I launched this forum (although I was hopeful). It's exciting to see so much interest in something so esoteric.

Hi There,

I have only just stumbled across this forum via RMWeb. I have recently managed to get hold of a circuit of track and one of the class 103 EMUs from PlazaJapan, and this looks to have a lot of potential. A couple of us are considering a layout of some description, however I'm not sure whetehr or not points are being planned - of (having looked at the track) even possible Sad

.

Being a new gauge with at present few modellers, I think this forum is a great idea to share experiences and promote T Gauge.
