After numerous years of modeling the importance of reliable and trusted products is obvious. Our experience in modeling is varied and includes: an HO module, an HO layout, a Garden Railroad, and a growing N scale empire in our son's bedroom. We are also very active in both local and national NMRA activities. Want to join the NMRA? We are pleased to provide you with a simple internet application form for your convenience.
These Web pages will change over time as we expand and hear from you.. Featured tips will vary and the inventory of products available will change. The showcase of manufacturers will also grow as interest in the information highway increases. Our crew is here to help you. For further inquiries and comments on what you want to see on the tttrains site contact: deb@tttrains.com or fill out our convenient feedback form.
Welcome aboard and thank you for visiting tttrains on the web!

One of the purposes of tttrains is to allow manufacturers to showcase their model railroad products by providing the opportunity for them to have their own web pages. This allows you, the modeler, the ability to gain more detailed information on their products. In these pages you might find product descriptions, product reviews, images of products, pricing, FAQs, and ways to reach each company.
If you know of a manufacturer (or are a manufacturer) , who makes excellent model railroad equipment and could benefit from exposure on tttrains, let us know.
Or if you would like to see more/different information from these manufacturers let us know. Each of the manufacturers in the Manufacturers' Showcase is genuinely interested in your feedback.
