I've downloaded a couple of tracks (including the one above) but they do seem to be a 'one trick  pony'

Sorry, Ben, but I don't agree with the 'cake decoration' view. I have been to exhibitions when I'm convinced N gauge models look more realistic. In fact on a trip to England I commented to @Newportnobby of this parish that OO stuff looks like plastic toys compared to N.

But, as with so much in life, the eye of the beholder, I guess. I have certainly encountered people here in Australia who would not give N gauge a chance to even show it's face. I'll name them too - BRMA, The British Railways Modellers of Australia. Shocking set of scale snobs.

@scottmitchell74 Never mind the trains, lets see your fire truck(s)!

Quote from: njee20 on June 06, 2026, 12:31:26 PMIt'll be interesting to see how well Revolution's JNAs sell, as arguably the first 'big' wagon with a fairly premium price. The majority of my sales of 3D printed wagons are TT at the moment, way beyond N gauge.

I'm still not sure I see it cannibalising N gauge, nor do I believe it's actually that popular. that narrative seems to come only from retailers who sell TT.

Hi all,

The TT:120 JNAs have sold well enough that we are developing another wagon and a powered model.

But in N we are developing significantly more, and N sales are still significantly higher.

Both, however, are still dwarfed by OO which is where the bulk of the market remains.

My experience is that the TT customers are either new to the hobby (and in my view TT:120 is a very attractive scale; offering the benefits of a small size with more 'heft' than N) or primarily OO modellers looking for a smaller side project but who still believe N to be stigmatized by the 'cake decoration' misperception.  Often this is because they haven't actually looked at modern N models and seen that in many cases they are superior to the comparable TT or even OO offerings!

cheers

Ben A.

Paypal has reappeared as a payment option for me, which coincided conveniently with restocking on Lipo batteries not available at reasonable prices from normal retail outlets.

The fee model changed a year ago, I'm not sure it's made any difference. It certainly didn't for me, I just adjusted all my prices to compensate for the fee transferring to the buyer.

A bit too slushy and sentimental for me but it is quite pleasant.

Haha, at least the wife didn't leave with the dog this time...

It will be interesting to see if Ebay dropping seller fees will have any impact?
I've avoided selling or buying from Ebay for a decade or more, but my try selling a few things again.
When it comes to secondhand prices, Rails of Sheffield currently have a pre-owned 'Peak'for sale for just 4 quid less than a brand new Rapido one will cost you. Shades of the Hatton's work-experience kid in reverse

This band popped up as a recommendation for me today.

Thoughts. ?
