Concrete Sleepers in transportation frames as found on track-laying trainsI spotted this on a track-laying train going through Taunton station in July 2021.The design has 24 concrete sleepers in a steel frame, a single concrete sleeper is also included.This design is to add scenery to a layout and not for laying track for trains to run on.
Models are designed at OO gauge, 1/76.2 scale but can easily be scaled for other gauges.for HO gauge print at 87%, 1/87 Scale,for O gauge UK at 175%, 1/43.5 Scale,for O gauge 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)Note: OO gauge railways use HO track so you might want to print in HO scale for OO.
The examples in the pictures were printed on an AnyCubic Proton 3D resin printer.I recommend printing these on a 3D resin printer to get the best print definition.As 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.
