3D model description

I have been looking at doing this for a while, the design is designed to be modular so you can make the edge of the platform as long as you require.

The design has been designed around a modern precast coping stone siting on a brick wall. Due to the design these are probably best for straight platforms but could be used on curved platforms if you think you can make it work.
I have created a spacer between coping stones to give definition between the coping stones. The design also has a 2mm recess behind the coping stone to help add platform infill or add a 2mm plasti card to bridge the gap.
I would recommend laying this platform edging on a flat surface. The platform edging is 18mm high.
Some filing and sanding may be required to get a good fit between each item.

The modular design consists of:
1: left and right platform end slopes (Angle 8 Degrees).
2: 12 coping stones in line with brick wall below (Smaller printers may struggle to print this item within the print area).
3: 10 coping stones in line with brick wall below (Smaller printers may struggle to print this item within the print area).
4: 5 coping stones in line with brick wall below.
5: 2 coping stones in line with brick wall below.
6: 1 coping stones in line with brick wall below.
7: 1 coping stones in line with brick wall below (Without spacer between coping stones - This could be used to create curved platforms).

Designed at OO Gauge, 1/76.2 Scale.
for HO print at 87%, 1/87 Scale.
for O UK print at 175%, 1/43.3 Scale.
for O International print at 158%, 1/48 Scale.
for N gauge print at 51.49%, 1/148 scale. (Caution: I have not printed this model in N gauge so can’t guarantee its printability)

The examples in the pictures were printed on a AnyCubic Proton M3 3D resin printer.
I recommend printing these on a 3D resin printer to get best print definition.
As per normal with my designs there is a balance between accuracy and printability, hopefully not affecting the look of the model too much.
