Why this accessory matters

Level crossings are a familiar part of Britain’s railway landscape. They allow roads to safely cross railway lines and add an instantly recognisable feature to any model railway.

This accessory creates a natural focal point on your layout and works well with roads, signals, cottages, and station scenes.

How to use it

Position the crossing over your OO gauge track where a road intersects the railway. Assemble the parts as instructed, then weather and detail to match the era and setting of your layout.

This is a plastic model accessory. Assembly is required. Paint and glue may be needed for the best results. It is not a toy.
