Märklin H0 modular Bridge Rail-C 172mm Straight Element / Märklin H0 modulare Brücke Gleis-C 172mm Element gerade

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.
For a more realistic look of the bridge I designed a rail element for the straight Rail-C 172mm rails.
The elemts fit on top of the modular Bridge pillar system and can be connected with snap-in-connectors.
The design leaves enough tolerance for the changing slopes needed for the bridge ramps.

The Märklin Rail-C system is intended to be used with for use with our design.
 

Print

Printed with prusament PLA (Gentleman's Grey)
To build a comlete ramp or bridge with ramps, you need quite a number of pillars and rail elements.
For one complete straight rail element you need to print the following components:
  1x H0_Bruecke_gerade_172mm_v01.stl
  8x H0_Bruecke_gerade_172mm_Deckplatte_v01.stl
  2x H0_Bruecke_Verbinder_v01.stl (one side)
 

Assembly

[Rail Support Element complete]
The rail support element is assembled with several parts.
Take the base elemt and place the 8 cover parts tho the left and right of the rail track into the corresponding openings.
This gives a nice impression of a steel construction.
The straight Rail-C element 172mm is simply placed in the center position.

The snap-in-connectors go into the small openings (left+right) at the ends of the rail support element.
The connected rail support elements fit on top of the pillar system.

Play & Enjoy!!!
