New Arrivals
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.
