RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted May 14, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2013 We bought my brother the HST starter set for his 50th birthday this weekend...and he loved it. He sent me this pic of it posed next to the original Grafar HST in N and old Hornby 4mm HST...really puts the scale in perspective... L to R : 4mm scale - 2mm scale - T gauge 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted May 15, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi , true but you can lose it ! T HST runs a treat and now you can get the clear coach bodyshells and the 23m type chassis for the motorised buffet car so possible to add more power if you need it. The body shell has a corridor connection moulded on end unlike the other clear shells. More bits and pieces of stock and buildings on Shapeways 3D printing site as well.

Humbolt136 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Wow t gauge is microscopic! Every time you think its small...it just gets smaller. Does it not derail continuously? Edited March 8, 2015 by Humbolt136 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sheep Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wow t gauge is microscopic! Every time you think its small...it just gets smaller. Does it not derail continuously? The wheels and track are magnetic to ensure good electrical contact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted March 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hey guys, I was at Ally Pally for the BRM exhibition and got a bit of video of the new HST they're bringing out. Absolutely amazing, I'm already on the pre order and I model 00! I tried to convince myself reasons not to do it but...my willpower is as strong as a toothpick holding up a brick, which probably explains why my girlfriend has so many handbags. Ah well...Enjoy!! That must be the slowest HST I have ever seen! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I caved in and got the HST starter pack. It is absolutely superb. The level of detail and the running qualities are hard to believe. I don't know if there have been further improvements recently, but my HST runs far better than the one shown above. I have a "Series three" controller, and the slow speed control is astounding, I can get it to creep along smoothly so slowly you can hardly tell it is moving, and yet it does not stutter or stop. In fact it seems to perform better than my 00 stuff! So if you want to model a carriage washer it will move through at a realistic speed no sweat. The level of detail is good too, you can make out the roof detail on the power cars, the grilles are moulded and not painted, and even the Mk3 coaches have roof ribs! The livery is well done too, even down to representations of numbers and what I presume is the word "Guard" on the rear doors of the power car. Certainly far too small for even the best eyesight to read without a magnifying glass! The only slightly adverse comment i can make is that presumably due to the size of the components, the red tail lights appear a little too close together - the headlights look just fine. An improvement if possible would be to have only the right hand tail lamp as you look at it lit, which was how they operated when introduced and would reduce the 'two red dots near the middle' effect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiple identity account Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Would love to see a video. Up close the nose portion looks funny. I thought of 3D printing my own basic shell. I'd love some modern liveries.Will any manufacturer scale down decals? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkeNd Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 As an N gauge modeller I have never really got used to the comments about my gauge from those who model in the default gauge (OO). "Ugh! Too small to see" or "Diddly Fiddly Gauge". Those who can't even see or handle a loco if it isn't approaching 12" in length are never going to "get" T gauge. To me N gauge is the ability to show trains in a landscape. I probably won't try T gauge but I can see its attraction. To me it seems that it's about the challenge of making something really tiny actually work. Maybe scenic layouts aren't even important to its existence? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbancohort Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Some years since this post started abd I have STILL not decided whether to make the jump... people mention some 3D printed products, I may be dumb but I can’t find them! Can anyone point me to links please? Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted May 7, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2021 The shapeways site shows Ivan Industries has having a feast of GW railcars for around £20. It would be possible to have a bit of fun with the twinsets as built for the BHM - CDF service. But easiest livery would be BR Green in the Bristol area, albeit the parcel car would have to be Carmine and off route! Fantasy livery - rail blue to go with the HST. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
