TT scale track from Tillig (left), Kuehn (middle) and Hornby (right). With Hornby's entry into the scale in 2022, a completely new track system was launched. While having its own distinct appearance, the geometry is in most aspects the same as Tillig's track.

Tillig produce models in TT, H0 and H0e, as well as a range of track in TT, H0, H0m and H0e. As the world leader in TT scale manufacturing, Tillig produces both standard TT scale model railroad track and an integrated roadbed track using known as Bedding Track. Tilling's Bedding Track uses Kato's Unijoiner system.
Track was introduced by Peco in 2022, closely followed by a range of locomotives, rolling stock and track from Hornby. This has the accurate scale and gauge combination of 2.54 mm : 1 ft on 12 mm track, as has been used by European and American hobbyists, who refer to this as TT. TT3 or 3 mm: 1:102: 12 mm (0.472 in)
This can be thought of as the plan view which is a view of a 3-dimensional track from the position above the track. In track geometry, the horizontal layout involves the layout of three main track types: tangent track (straight line), curved track, and track transition curve (also called transition spiral or spiral) which connects between a ...
The letter m stands for metre prototype gauge with a track width of 1000 mm. It runs on 12 mm ( 0.472 in ) TT scale tracks. Modern H0m trains run on realistic-looking two-rail track, which is powered by direct current (varying the voltage applied to the rails to change the speed , and polarity to change direction), or by Digital Command Control ...
Track geometry is three-dimensional geometry of track layouts and associated measurements used in design, construction and maintenance of railroad tracks. The subject is used in the context of standard, speed limits and other regulations in the areas of track gauge , alignment, elevation, curvature and track surface.
The term HOn30 (and sometimes HOn2½) is generally used when modelling American prototypes while H0e is used for European prototypes. In Britain, the term OO9 is used. [1] All these terms refer to models of narrow-gauge railways built to the world's most popular model railway scale of HO (1:87) but using a track gauge of 9 mm (0.354 in)—the gauge used for N scale models of standard-gauge ...
