Model Railway Lineside Sleeper Ballast Bins 3D print model

Lineside Ballast bin made from railway sleepers. 3 slightly different designs are included (See Photos)

Ballast bins are normally spaced every mile or so next to the railway. Ideal for any layout to add a bit of extra detail alongside the track. Additional detail was added to show where the track was attached to the sleeper.

This ballast bin has been designed at OO gauge, 1/76 scale. for HO gauge print at 87%, 1/87 scale, for O gauge UK print at 175%, 1/43.5 scale, for O gauge American print at 158%, 1/48 scale, for N Gauge UK print at 51.5%, 1/148 Scale. (Caution: I have not test printed this in this scale).

Recommend printing OO or below on a 3D resin printer to get the best print definition, for larger scales resin or filament 3D printers can be used. Recommend hand painting as brush strokes will give the impression of wood grain.

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.
