In this article I'm going to take a look at the items in the Gaugemaster Highways range. This range allows you to add realistic roads to your N or OO Scale model railway layout and also includes accessories for detailing vehicles.


Easy Street

Self-adhesive roadway is a simple way to lay roads. Lengths can be cut from the roll and curves are available as well; just cut the part of the curve you need for the turning you require. The road comes in both N and OO Scales, with different widths available in OO for different classes of road.

Safety First

Two useful accessories to the roadway above are the crash barriers and Zebra Crossing sets, both of which are available in N and OO Scale.

The two crash barrier sets each contain one meter of the respective size barrier, including posts. These aluminium barriers are seen by the roadside all over the place and can be added to your roads to keep your miniature drivers safe.

Now your drivers are safe, your plastic pedestrians can cross the road with the Zebra Crossing sets. The sets contain flashing Belisha Beacons, a self adhesive crossing, and a battery pack. The set is easy to install, and a 12v DC supply (with resistors) can be used instead of the battery pack if you want to control it from a switch. The crossing stickers are available separately.

See the Light

Detailing vehicles is a great way to enhance your layout, adding realism. The Vehicle Lighting Sets can be installed in your model vehicles to add the dimension of light. They contain LEDs, a processor unit, leads, and a battery to conceal under the layout. A correct sized drill bit is even included to help you drill out the holes for the lights. The standard set contains red and white LEDs for standard headlights and rear lights; the emergency vehicle set contains red, white, and blue LEDs plus a flasher unit and the service vehicle set has red, white, and orange LEDs plus flasher for bin lorries, AA vans and the like.

Man with a Van

The White Van Man Starter Set was featured on the Channel 5 programme The Great Model Railway Challenge. The set uses technology from the Faller Car System to allow you to make a vehicle run around the roads on your layout. The vehicle is battery powered, and runs via a clever use of magnets and a guide wire suspended beneath the roadway. The sticker sheet provided allows you to add various company names to the van (including Network Rail), or you can add your own with paint or by printing out your own designs.
