Railway sleeper retaining wall for a model railway. This is a sleeper/steel I-beam construction as commonly found on railways and now in other locations.
This is a build-your-own wall kit, just print what you require and put it together. For simplicity sleepers have had i-beams attached at one or both ends, this will make printing and assembly easier. This is a 3 Sleeper high wall, 0.75m approx. You can also purchase 6 and 9 sleeper-high walls from my other objects. Real-life sleeper dimensions used - 8ft 6Long, 10 Wide, 6" Thick, for OO = 34.12mm x 3.28mm x 2mm
This wall has been designed at OO gauge, 1:76.2 scale. for HO gauge print at 87%, 1:87 scale. for O UK print at 175%, 1:43.5 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)
Designed to be printed on resin or a filament printer. Smaller gauges may be better printed on a resin printer. Note: Due to some of the material thicknesses required on these objects I have had to balance accuracy with thickness without affecting the look significantly. Items can be printed either way up (Particularly for 90deg and 45deg post).
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.
