N Scale model Railroad Railway Platform

thingiverse

This is a model railroad platform designed specifically for N scale with a ramp positioned at one side and a set of stairs situated in the middle. Building the support poles onto the platform and the roof on top of the supports requires the use of glue to hold them firmly in place. The entire structure has an overall dimensions of 25 millimeters wide, 180 millimeters long, and approximately 35 millimeters high at the highest point of the roof. Each component was crafted using Tinkercad, so feel free to make adjustments, tweaks and improvements if needed by downloading and re-sharing: https://tinkercad.com/things/iqhl1ORaAgw for the roof; https://tinkercad.com/things/hW468qR47zS for the base; https://tinkercad.com/things/1SeRt7TMoI4 for the supports. A picture showcasing this model is alongside Kato Unitrack, which has a noticeably high bedding level and happens to be our chosen system at home. Using other systems, you will probably need to have a lower platform to accommodate your track bed comfortably. Modification made on 12/27/2014: The platform base was redesigned to reduce the amount of material needed and print faster as an update. **Building Instructions** Two separate files are included - one for the roof, another for the platform, and lastly one for the supports. Remember to print two sets of supports. Use some model builder's glue to securely attach the supports to the base and the roof onto the supports firmly.
