I sincerely hope others will enjoy my designs. I am always pleased to hear about successful or useful prints. Please post a photo of successful ‘makes’ if you can.

MODEL RAILWAY GOODS SHED

This is intended to be a goods shed as would have been seen in UK railway stations up until the modernisation of the 1960s. This is a freelance design and not based on anything authentic. Goods sheds were used for unloading and loading wagons under cover. The sliding doors along one side would have been used to transfer 'goods' to and from road vehicles and carts.

DIMENSIONS (OO version) (approximate)
Length - 175mm
Width - 122mm
Height - 110mm

Rail track portal - Height 68mm, Width 46mm

ADHESION and SUPPORT

  • No need for a brim or raft.
  • I have included some vertical supports in the rail portals to reduce sag. These can be clipped away. (One of the screen shots shows how and where these are located.)

PRINTING
This is a big model. I used standard default settings with 7mm retraction on Creality Ender3pro. Sliced with Cura.

  • PLA 220g (73.7metres)
  • TIME 38 ½ hours
    Watch the first few layers carefully.

FEEDBACK

  • If you get success with this, please post a glowing comment and a photo. I am more than happy to take the credit.
  • If you find errors, please politely let me know in the comments and I will attempt a fix if I can.
This design was produced following a request from a THINGIVERSE member. I’d love to see any photos of finished prints.

FILES

  • GoodsShedMk2-2 - This is the full version shown in most of the screen shots.
  • GoodShedWithout - The same model but without the external loading platform.
  • N-GoodsShed - Untested scaled down to 54%.

A REQUEST
I have found some of my designs for sale on eBay. Please do not use my designs commercially, they have taken me a long time to produce and I share them for free, not for others to make profit.
I am pleased that some of my designs are being used to help raise money for an Air Ambulance charity. I was happy to give my permission for this.

N VERSION
This is a direct 'downscale' of the original design with no adjustments or alterations. It is 54% of the OO version. I have not printed a prototype at this scale. You may find that some parts are too small to print. An adhesion brim may also be a good idea as the walls will be thin. If you get a successful print, please let me know. (I may be able to fix any errors that arise).
