About this model

SummaryI put together these trestles to use as display stands for N gauge engines. They are about 4 inches tall. The larger trestle is 267.7mm (10.5 inches) and the small trestle is 127mm (5 inches) long, but they can easily be made to any shorter length. It is loosely based on a Great Northern Railway Standard Frame Trestle design that I found on the web. Most of the parts can be printed without supports. Using supports with the Main Frame STLs take a while to clean up, but I found that the parts were strong and looked good when I was done. Be careful not to cut yourself when digging the support material out with an Xacto knife. Blood just ruins a good print… After printing the SideBraces STLs, but before removing them from the print surface, I laid some wide low-tac (blue) painters tape …
