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.
