Welcome to NZ120.ORG

NZ120 is the name given to the modelling of New Zealand's narrow-gauge railways in a scale of 1:120, also known as TT scale.  The combination of modelling a prototype track gauge of 3.5 feet (1067mm) in TT scale is also referred to as TTn3.5, or TT9 for the 9mm gauge of the track - the same as standard gauge N scale. 

The intention of this website is to develop and foster the NZ120 community by providing a spot where you can find relevant information and help, and you can contribute to discussions.

Layout competition – Second Anniversary – in NZ120

Wes's picture

Back in the NZMR Guild Journal of August 2004, Glenorchy Models sponsored a competition for Journal readers to design a mini- layout, in 9MM scale [or 1:34.].  ONE plan was submitted and thus duly became the winner of that competition. An article and plan subsequently appeared in the Journal of December 2005, describing the winning entry, from mainlander Spencer Lawry.

The recent 2010 AMRCNZ Convention, held in the Garden City promoted a novel concept, namely an “A3” layout design and construction competition, which drew some fascinating entries. [see NZMR Guild Journal #370 - June 2010]

Now five years on, by combining  these ideas , the NZ120 Group  is pleased to announce a SECOND competition,  open to all comers, to design and/or build an operating NZ120 scale model railway layout,  based on NZR design principles.

Housekeeping

We have done a little housekeeping.  We have merged the previous Documents and Projects into the Articles section.  We have also added a shortcut to the NZ120 Blogs section of the Links area in the right-hand column.  If you have an NZ120 Blog that isn't listed in that section then add a link in the Links menu, or let us know.

We need your content!

The site needs more content.  If you have photos you would like to submit for the showcase, or suggestions for articles you would like to see on the site then please contact us.

If you would like to contribute to the Documents section or would like a link to your Blog please tell us a little about yourself and the sort of content you would like to provide.
