TT Scenery
Automobiles and Trucks
A problem in TT Scale is finding American automobiles and trucks. European types are available, and even these are limited in number. Here is a set made by Lester of The Loft (find them at TTscale.com under "Products"). They are made of a plaster compound and hand-painted. Some fittings for trucks are handcrafted of wood and plastic. It is amazing that these tiny, tiny vehicles show such exquisite detail.
Note that in the photos, a TT scale mill and train are included for size contrast.
