Motivation
When building a temporary model railway bridge or ramp, you need pillars with various sizes.
Using Lego for this purpose did not look too realistic.
For this reason I designed a pluggable model railway pillar system, that allows you to create any pillar height you need.
For a more realistic look of the bridge I designed a rail element for the curved Rail-C radius R1 30° rails.
The elements fit on top of the modular Bridge pillar system and can be connected with snap-in-connectors.
The design leaves enough tolerance for the changing slopes needed for the bridge ramps.
The Märklin Rail-C system is intended to be used with for use with our design.
Printed with prusament PLA (Gentleman's Grey)
To build a complete ramp or bridge with ramps, you need quite a number of pillars and rail elements.
For one complete curved R1 rail support element you need to print the following components:
1x H0_Bruecke_R1_30deg_v02.stl
(print orientation: upright)
(colour: Gentleman's Grey)
2x H0_Bruecke_Verbinder_v01.stl
(print orientation: left or right side)
(colour: Gentleman's Grey)
Assembly
[Rail Support Element R130 v02 complete]
The curved R1 rail support element is printed as a single part.
The snap-in-connectors go into the small openings (left+right) at the ends of the rail support element.
The connected rail support elements fit on top of the pillar system.
Play & Enjoy!!!
