Anthony Kochevar is in my eyes one of the best designers at Thingiverse, at least within the ones who creates models for model railways. If you are interested in northern American railway themes, I strongly recommend to visit his site:

Here I republish his version of a mobile car loading ramp. He creates his designs mostly for printing with FDM-printers with a lot of parts flat on the printing platform (in this case 28 separate parts in a single STL-file). If you have an FDM-printer better to download the original design using the link:

I use a resin printer and prefer to print parts together as single pieces as much as practically, in this case 7 pieces in single files for easier arrangement. This seems to me better for resin printing. I also added a wheel (for original design Anthony made it from wires).

The "clamp" is needed twice. There are two versions of the frames, one jacked up or one on wheels (as on pictures) - your choice.

I used brush for painting, airbrush would have been the better choice. 

One picture shows the car loading ramp from KATO’s 23-142 freight depot, as far as I know the only car loading ramp available from professional model suppliers, but this ramp is based on Japanese original. 

Model sized for n-scale (1:160). Conversion values:

TT-gauge, 1:120 -> 133%
HO/H0-gauge, 1:87 -> 184%
S-gauge, 1:64 -> 250%
O-gauge, 1:48 -> 333%
