Spotted a similar design in a model railway magazine recently and thought I would produce a similar model for everyone to print.These types of platforms were used to load coal onto steam engines.
This model comes in three sections. Brick base, Wooden desk and side walls, plus steps. Complete model also Included.
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)
The examples in the pictures were printed on a AnyCubic Proton 3D resin printer.I recommend printing these on a 3D resin printer to get 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.
