TMC UNLOCKS TT:120 WITH

NEW EARLY MK. 2 TOOLINGS

A breakthrough for TT:120 scale is here with the announcement of our exciting exclusive all-new early Mk. 2 coaches. Made in beautifully-presented four-coach presentation packs in five most-requested liveries – with a selection of individual coaches available, too – we’ve just released a vast range of modelling opportunities for this fast-growing scale!

Developed in conjunction with our manufacturing partner Heljan, (known for its acclaimed range of O gauge Mk. 2 coaches), each livery-matched pack contains accurate coach types and running numbers based on correct formations from the late-1960s to the present day.

Four core variants – FK, TSO, BSO and BFK – cover virtually every regular use of the Mk. 2/Mk. 2A/Mk. 2Z fleet, allowing packs to be run standalone, or combined to form realistic-length train formations with other packs, or, with our additional proposed single coaches, too!

Prices:

Four-packs: £179.00

Single coaches: £44.50

'Four-packs' announced today...

Livery-matched four-coach train packs will be available in:

• Late-1960s BR Blue/Grey (London Midland Region Mk. 2Z)

• 1970s/1980s Inter-City Blue/Grey (Western Region and Eastern Region Mk. 2A)

• Network SouthEast (late-1980s/early-1990s Mk. 2A)

• Regional Railways (1990s Mk. 2A)

• West Coast Railways red (2000s-2020s Mk. 2Z)

Single coaches announced today...

Four additional single vehicles are under development, produced to expand formation options, including a Mk. 2Z BSO(T) micro-buffet and an early V1 Mk. 2 FK prototype in BR maroon.

TMC’s Howard Smith commented, “We’ve seen the popularity of TT:120 at TMC with our coreless motor conversions and numerous popular customisation options offered to customers. Recent popular models like Hornby’s Class 37s and Class 50s have brought further modellers to this booming scale.

Heljan’s forthcoming Class 55s and Class 122s, alongside a flourishing number of aftermarket accessories continues to drive the scale, but we felt sizeable investment was required to develop the much-needed ‘staple’ authentic rolling stock for which these new locomotives are suited. This announcement delivers that, catering for modellers from the 1960s to the present day.”

Design specification

Design work for all four variants is well advanced with the first complete samples expected in the UK for review in mid-2026. All toolings have quality exterior detail and innovative design. Factory-fitted underframe parts and end gangway doors will enable the models to be finished as vacuum-braked Mk. 2Z or air-braked Mk. 2A vehicles.

Installing interior lighting will be simple thanks to a newly designed battery-powered LED lighting bar (sold separately and specified on checkout), which drops into the locating slots provided on the interior unit. Using standard coin batteries, these lighting bars provide an economical ‘fit-and-forget’ solution without the expense of DCC decoders and without the friction caused by some pick-up systems. Coach roofs are designed for easy access and separate additional lighting bar pricing will be confirmed later.

Other standard features include visible interior seats and tables, a wealth of separate roof, end and underframe detail and Heljan’s free-running wheelsets in detailed B4 bogies. First releases are expected in early-2027.
