Platform and other .STL for N Gauge

[Seanem44]

Ok... so I have been 3D printing since January, bot not model RW items.  I am now seeing the possibilities.  Is there an online source of N gauge files?  For instance, I need platforms.  Thingiverse is limited in what they have, but I figured you all here might know?  Platforms, water columns, fences...  basically anything I can print I will.  I live in the states so items arent readily available to me.

Couple of thoughts and couple of files - You don't need to limit your search to N gauge as you should be able to rescale any downloaded file on your printer to what you want. e.g. HO (87) to one of the N variants (150) means print at 58%. You need to check in your slicing software that you have not lost too much wall thickness and may have edit using a package such as Tinkercad.

 

Using Tinkercad (or similar) you could put together a number of the items you mention yourself after a couple of tutorials and that might let you make items customised to your needs which after all is one of the advantages of self printing. https://www.tinkercad.com/#/dashboard

 

Also worth thinking - is 3D print the best tool / material for the job? e.g. Maybe platforms from wood/card but faced with printed items are both simpler and more economical?

 

Some files attached, scaled to HO for you to play with to fence things in.
