Summary

I enjoy designing and making model buildings and functional items. They take many hours to design, test and refine. I share for free and NOT FOR OTHERS TO MAKE COMMERCIAL PROFIT. Please read my profile before downloading.
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.

Mini Narrow Gauge Railway Station. Suitable (roughly) for HOe or 00-9. There is probably enough detail to upscale.

This model prints in two pieces

  • The base
  • The roof
    I have included the whole design file too to give an impression of what the finished print should look like.
    • 'v1_complete' is the entire model. (Don't print this.)
    • 'Base'.
    • 'Roof v1'. (This is the version I printed. It includes quite a lot of unnecessary internal plastic.)
    • 'Roof v2'. (Identical to Roof v1 but with much of the extra internal plastic removed. I have not test-printed this.)

I have test printed 'Base' and 'Roof v1'. Both printed without any problems. No brim or supports required. Please don't blame me if you have less success.

I hope this is useful to someone. I'd like to see photos of 'makes'.

Base: 164 x 102 x 65mm. 9 hours. 44g plastic.
Roof v1: 154 x 95 x 20mm. 6 hours. 33g plastic.

Designed with TINKERCAD
Sliced with CURA

UPDATE
I have been asked to add extra sections of platform. I have now done this as follows.

  1. 'extra platform for canopy'.
  2. 'extra platform no canopy'.
  3. 'extra roof'
    I did not need these new sections for my railway and consequently, I have not attempted to print them. I can modify further if necessary.
    In order to make them fit up against the original station, you will need to cut a slice off the end of each to remove the supports. Otherwise the canopy will have extra supports that you don't need.

ANOTHER UPDATE
Two extra files. 'roof reversed' and 'base reversed'. These are mirror images of the station and might be useful. I have not attempted to print them but they should be okay.
