The files that start with DBL are for the DOUBLE TRACK version of this system. The full double track set is available at:

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/kato-n-gauge-double-track-modular-pier-ramp-truss-and-viaduct-system

A stackable "over/under" graduated pier system with integrated straight and curved viaduct sections.
Compatible with Kato N gauge track.
Interlocks with track for better stability.
Pier pieces are compatible with both straight and curved Kato track.

The unique stackable pier design allows you to vertically double (OR MORE!) your existing layout in the same space. You are limited only by your track budget and ceiling height!!!

The full set includes:
- Upper and lower deck pier models (stackable design)
- 6 piece Graduated Pier Set. Provides 2 degree incline when used with 248mm straight track. Can be used with curved sections to create helix inclines. Can be spaced closer for steeper inclines.
- Viaduct straight sections (in 1x,2x,3x,4x,5x,6x,8x sections) Each straight viaduct section is 15.5 mm in length. Each section is 1/16 of a 248mm full length straight track. 8 sections = half track, etc.
- Viaduct curve sections in 150, 183, 216, 249, 282, 315, 348 radius.
The curved viaduct pieces come in 15 and 3.75 degree lengths for each radius.
- Viaduct end section (15.5mm, with rounded corners). Used for terminating end/start of straight or curved sections.

The vertical clearance under each pier is 46 mm. (measured from top of track)

3D printing settings

  • No supports needed.
  • Use 25% infill
  • Other settings are non critical. I use .25 layer height with .6mm nozzle for faster printing.
  • Also suitable for printing with resin printers.
