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.
 
I designed various bridge parts for these pillars, so you are able to build curved and straight bridge tracks.
Examples:


You can find the bridge elements in this collection:

Update November 2026

Some small height corrections were necessaty for some of the parts.
The dove tail groove has a little more space, as the v00-design had a very firm fit.
Also the stl-filename should now contain the correct height index "_<n>x56_" for each 5.6mm step.

[Correction of some stl-files]

Some model files needed a small height correction of 1.0mm.

Print

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_2x56_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_v01
or
    Pillar_top_1rail_2x56_v00_1

[Solo]
Pillar elements used as single elements for small height at the beginning or end of a ramp.
Insert 2x 
    PIllar_rail_support_v01
into the dove tail grooves of the parts
   Pillar_top_1rail_1x56_solo_v01
   Pillar_top_1rail_2x56_solo_v01
   Pillar_top_1rail_3x56_solo_v01
