I’m helping our model railway club build a layout that is set near to us in Swanley. In the real world, there is a Coal Post at the side of the line between Swanley and St Mary Cray station:
I thought it would be worth having one on our layout, so measured some photos and 3D designed one:
Unfortunately, this didn’t print terribly well on my 3D printer:
A friend of mine has a much better 3D printer that prints using resin, and this gave a much better result:
And this is what it would look like on one of the model railway boards:
It will need painting and weathering, but I’ll leave that to the experts in the club.
