Motivation
When bulding 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.
We used the Märklin Rail-C system for use with our design.
Printed with PLA+ (gray)
To build a comlete ramp or bridge with ramps, you need quite a number of pillars.
I set up a number of prints that generate the parts required to assemble complete sets of pillars with various heights.
Use the ones that suit best to your individual demand.
Assembly
[Pillar complete]
The resulting pillar height will be n * 5.6mm.
Simply snap base part, center parts (as required) and top part together.
[Base part]
Standard base part:
Pillar_base_v00
[Center parts]
Pillar_center_1x56_v00
Pillar_center_2x56_v00
Pillar_center_3x56_v00
Pillar_center_4x56_v00
Pillar_center_5x56_v00
[Top part]
Insert 2x
PIllar_rail_support_v01
into the dove tail grooves of the parts
Pillar_top_1rail_2x56_v00
or
Pillar_top_1rail_3x56_v00
[Solo]
Pillar elements used as single elements for small height at the beginning of a ramp.
Insert 2x
PIllar_rail_support_v01
into the dove tail grooves of the parts
Pillar_top_1rail_1x56_solo_v00
Pillar_top_1rail_2x56_solo_v00
Pillar_top_1rail_3x56_solo_v00
