GATSO Speed Camera (With Working Flash) OO-Gauge
£18.99

F00054-OO

Experience authentic roadside detail in OO gauge with our 3D-printed GATSO Speed Camera — fully pre-built, highly detailed, and engineered to impress.

  • Realistic appearance: Precision 3D printing captures the distinctive GATSO shape, lens housing, mounting bracket, and textured finishes at true OO-gauge scale for convincing layout realism.

  • Working flash every 10 seconds: Our custom circuit board drives a bright, camera-style flash pulse on a reliable 10-second interval, recreating the intermittent flash behavior seen on real speed cameras.

  • Integrated electronics: The proprietary PCB and compact wiring are built into the unit at the factory, so the model arrives ready to place on your layout with minimal installation — no soldering or technical setup required just connect the LED wires to the circuit board after installation.

  • Easy installation: Designed for secure mounting on standard OO-gauge roadside bases or bespoke layouts; low power draw (9 Volts DC) makes it compatible with common model railway power supplies or dedicated DC adapters.

  • Ready to display: Delivered fully assembled and tested, so you can add it straight to your layout and enjoy immediate visual impact.

Order a pre-built GATSO Speed Camera for OO-gauge and give your layout the dynamic, authentic touch that draws the eye and tells a story.

Important Information:

This product requires a 9 Volt DC battery (Not Included) to power the circuit board. DO NOT connect the LED directly to the 9 Volt battery or power supply as this will irreversibly damage the LED.

Ready-made Deciduous Trees — 2-Pack, 8 cm Tall

Enhance your model railway, diorama, or architectural scene with a ready-made pair of deciduous trees, each 8 cm tall. Designed to work across multiple scales, these trees offer immediate realism without the time or skill needed to craft foliage from scratch.

Key benefits

  • Scale versatility: At 8 cm tall these trees are suitable for a wide range of modeling scales. They look believable as shorter or taller specimen trees depending on the scale context and surrounding scenery.

  • Ready to use: Arrive fully finished and textured — no assembly, painting, or foliage application required. Save time and start landscaping right away.

  • Realistic detail: Carefully shaped branches and natural-looking leaf clusters give authentic depth and shadow at close viewing distances.

  • Durable and stable: Sturdy trunks and bases make placement simple and long-lasting, suitable for display, exhibitions, or frequent handling.

  • Consistent pair: Two matching trees make it easy to create balanced scenes, line a roadway, or frame a building.

Applications

  • Model railways: Ideal for layouts in HO, OO, N, O, and other scales — the 8 cm height reads as medium to tall trees depending on the scale.

  • Dioramas and miniatures: Add vertical interest and scale reference to architectural models and display pieces.

  • Scenic touch-ups: Replace damaged foliage or add depth to existing landscapes quickly.

What's In The Pack

  • Quantity: 2 trees

  • Height: 8 cm

  • Type: Deciduous, ready-made
