Model Railway - Modern Platform Edging Modular 3D print model

I have been looking at doing this for a while, the design is designed to be modular so you can make the edge of the platform as long as you require.

The design has been designed around a modern precast coping stone sitting on a brick wall. Due to the design, these are probably best for straight platforms but could be used on curved platforms if you think you can make it work.I have created a spacer between coping stones to define the coping stones. The design also has a 2mm recess behind the coping stone to help add platform infill or add a 2mm plastic card to bridge the gap.I would recommend laying this platform edging on a flat surface. The platform edging is 18mm high.Some filing and sanding may be required to get a good fit between each item.

The modular design consists of: 1: left and right platform end slopes (Angle 8 Degrees). 2: 12 coping stones in line with the brick wall below (Smaller printers may struggle to print this item within the print area). 3: 10 coping stones in line with brick wall below (Smaller printers may struggle to print this item within the print area). 4: 5 coping stones in line with the brick wall below. 5: 2 coping stones in line with the brick wall below. 6: 1 coping stones in line with the brick wall below. 7: 1 coping stone in line with the brick wall below (Without spacer between coping stones - This could be used to create curved platforms).

Designed at OO Gauge, 1/76.2 Scale.for HO print at 87%, 1/87 Scale.for O UK print at 175%, 1/43.3 Scale.for O International print at 158%, 1/48 Scale.for N gauge print at 51.49%, 1/148 scale. (Caution: I have not printed this model in N gauge so can’t guarantee its printability)

The examples in the pictures were printed on an AnyCubic Proton M3 3D resin printer.I recommend printing these on a 3D resin printer to get the best print definition. As per normal with my designs, there is a balance between accuracy and printability, hopefully not affecting the look of the model too much.

The main resins I use for printing can be found with my affiliated links below.I use AnyCubic Water Washable Resin for most of my items but use AnyCubic ABS Like Resin for anything that needs to be stronger and tougher.
