PECO expands TT:120 scenery range with laser-cut tunnel portals
PECO’s first TT:120 tunnel portals come in brick and stone, with wing walls, parapets and a flexible insert to hide bare track ends. The range is the start of 15 laser-cut scenic kits.
PECO started its TT:120 scenic push with brick and stone tunnel portal kits that go far beyond a bare hole in a hillside. Each release is supplied as a pair, with separate wing walls and parapets, plus a flexible tunnel-mouth interior designed to make the entrance look deeper and more convincing. The parts are laser-cut from finely engraved plywood, a finish aimed at giving TT:120 layouts a more complete landscape without demanding advanced scratchbuilding from the start.
Retailers have identified four SKUs in the first wave: LK12171 and LK12172 for single-track brick and stone portals, and LK12173 and LK12174 for double-track versions. Gaugemaster lists RRPs of £13.50 for the single-track kits and £16.50 for the double-track versions.
That matters on a TT:120 plan because tunnel mouths do a lot of scenic heavy lifting in a small space. They hide track exits, mask joins between scenic sections and give a line a real reason to disappear into the terrain instead of stopping at the edge of a baseboard. PECO’s line-up also points to a coordinated approach rather than a one-off accessory: the company says these portals are the first releases in a larger range of 15 wooden laser-cut kits, with bridges and retaining walls to follow.
The timing fits PECO’s longer TT:120 build-out. World of Railways noted in May 2023 that the company had already added laser-cut wooden buildings such as a platform shelter and a lineside hut, both designed to be straightforward to assemble. PECO TV then posted a July 7, 2026 video from the factory at Beer, Devon, saying brick and stone tunnel portals, bridges and retaining walls would be released over July and August.
PECO still describes TT:120 as Britain’s first “true-to-scale” scale, 1:120 on 1:120 gauge track, and that is exactly why scenic pieces like these matter so much. The obvious buyers are TT:120 layout builders who already have track down and need a convincing tunnel mouth now, not a scratchbuilding project that eats the whole month, especially anyone aiming to turn exposed infrastructure into a finished scene rather than a temporary one. By adding brick, stone, single-track and double-track options at once, PECO is giving the scale a practical way to look like a railway instead of a work in progress.
