Building platform with riveted steel pillars and wooden roof

[@jenskiesewetter8474]

Very nice Plattform

[@djantwan6155]

Indeed a magnificent and enthusiastic modeller whom I gladly take my hat off to. And of course if you get it right a 3D printer is cheaper to start with, but in many countries you don't always have sunlight when you want it. So you buy 2 devices. I myself have started saving for the model railway, in the form of 2nd hand train sets and rails. The buildings are 95% new and then the difference is smaller than you think. The liquids for the printer are fairly pricey. And glue you need anyway. As well as paint to colour the kit. For a modelling friends club or association, I would definitely recommend this. Good luck everyone with this beautiful hobby. Greetings Antwan.

You can just as well cure 3d prints with a home-made curing box and a cheap UV light. And wash your resin prints in a small container. You don't have to buy all these accessories that 3d printer manufacturers want you to buy.

[@VictorReimbertsson]

A very minor thing, but I really appreciate that you mention the eras the model is suited for, det tackar vi för!

You are a model railroading GOD.

Nicely done,,thanks for sharing,,😊😊

Outstanding!!!!!

[@RoaldvdM]

It is always a joy & very interesting at the same time! And miraculously, you did not say 'umber' in this video! (I heard it so many times in so many videos - now I am anticipating it, lol)

[@lindaoffenbach]

Always a most relaxing and didactic view. Just wonderful inspirations here, and the station looks absolutely masterfully spectacular. May we share an experience if that's okay with you. To avoid paint bleed under the masking tape, it might be a good idea to apply some transparent varnish on the outer rim of the tape. That way, the paint won't bleed under it. It's not much of a problem if the bleed is going to be blended in with weathering of an old station though. It's just when you want a crisp line looking brand new or modern, the idea might be helpful. Great build that station Martin. Cheerio.

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you Linda! Very useful tips there! I’ll try it. Nice weekend to you as well!

[@davidwilliams1060]

All good, thanks. I do FDM and resin but not skilled enough yet in CAD, so appreciate the available files. I use a heavier drug store tape to simulate canvas and will try the lighter type for roofing.

Great video. 👍

very very good job !!! Congratulations from France

Really feeling like I'm behind in the times without a resin 3d printer.

[@WoodenCarModel101]

Awesome❤❤❤

[@alfiepurvis3767]

Please could we have a new layout tour soon!

[@Gbhmagic]

pretty cool boss. But saddly i cannot afford 3d print and in many cases in has seriously toxic materials. Here sich disposal is not for those with a light wallet.

[@AAD2127]

Yeah I personally prefer scratchbuilt by hand; even with all the imperfections it has charm. It is good that he shows all kind of techniques but sadly some are not within everyone’s reach

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! Saddly I couldn’t afford Model railroading without 3D-print. The 3D-printer reduces cost by 70-90% for everything except locomotives. I would prefer buying stuff in the shops, but the shops are closed. The prices have increased by x10 since 90s. It’s really sad and not good for the hobby.

[@dzikowskir]

Hi, it is really amazing. I am starting 3D printing and I have met problems with warping of models. Would it be possible for you to make separate video on that subject? How to prevent what kind of resins etc.

[@petter5721]

Mycket bra Martin😀👍🏻

[@johnDukemaster]

Bra att veta. Tarmac är det vi kallar oljegrus. Tar=tjära mac=makadam. Asphalt är asfalt. Ja jag vet, nörd! Tack för fina filmer och bra tips.

[@marklinofsweden]

Nope.. Där har du fel. Engelsmän säger tarmak och amerikaner asphalt. Tack själv! 👍

[@raymondleggs5508]

you can buy old pola/ model power platform that looks similar

[@marklinofsweden]

This kit seems to follow the standards for joining and assembly established by the kit manufacturers in the 60s and 70s. Detailing is much better though. Availability too and price too. I haven´t seen a new Pola kit since the 80s when I was a kid.

[@jenskiesewetter8474]

6:39 What kind of product is this?

[@mgbeck98]

Is the platform thin enough for C track?

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! Hmm.. I’m not sure I understand what you mean by ”thin”.. the 54mm width is adapted/intended for standard C-track turnout with 70mm straight extension besides the 22.5 degrees curves. Regarding height. I would assemble the platform on a 6mm spacer to get nice height compared to the C-track

[@mgbeck98]

@@marklinofsweden Yes that's the information I was looking for!

[@MrCeke]

anything to build in N scale how do i reduce from HO to N scale 1/67 to 1/160

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! 3D-models intended for 3D-print can be scaled to N-scale, but they will not print correctly. This while the smallest possible dimensions already been used to create the H0-scale model. Any further down scaling will result in failed print. So, in most cases N-scale items for 3D-print needs to be designed for N-scale from start.

[@fodi123]

Hi @@marklinofsweden Thanks for the models. Could you and your team add some more N scale designs to the mix as well? The catenaries are very good but some signals, buildings or structures would be stellar

[@steveklippstein9618]

Good video but for my understanding last time all video are only with 3d Printer.better are the videos that made by handmade:)

[@marklinofsweden]

I will probably not buy any plastic or wooden parts in the shops going forward. It makes no sence producing styrene strips or bass wood sheets in US, sending them by air transport to Sweden and thereafter me taking the car to the shop buying a pack with parts I only partly need at x10 cost compared to 3D-printing the exact right part/quantity at home. This means that most videos (if not all) will contain 3D-print and/or laser cut from now on, even if it’s in combination with scratchbuilt parts. My idea of making how-to videos is show my audience the materials and methods I think does the job best.

[@PhantomRC1959]

Excellent but I have a question about the 3D printing. I read that resin printers are used but … has anyone tried these files with a FDM printer. I using a Flashforge 5M Pro that gives excellent detail results (for a FDM printer) because I don’t want the smell and disturbance of too many equipment.

[@marklinofsweden]

Try it and write a comment here on the result! 👍

@@marklinofsweden Aditionaly what is the difference between the Plate_girder_bridge_left_v1_x1 and the Plate_girder_bridge_left_v1?

[@marklinofsweden]

@@PhantomRC1959 All stl-files with _x1 has supports for resin print. You’ll see it when you open the file in your slicer

[@PhantomRC1959]

@@marklinofsweden So … at last … I mannaged to slice one of the files but had to cut it horizontally to avoid too many supports. At first I used the Flashprint slicer (it’s capable of sending files via Wifi) but had a lot (and I mean a l o t ) of issues with stringing. Fortunatly I found a video about that subject and started using Orca as a slicer. The results are awesome.

Dear Sweden Marklin friend, I like much yr. videos, but this time I prefere glas/tranpatent roof due otherwise you loose a lot of view on the wagons 😢

[@nicolasg.6232]

Can someone help me out, i'm thinkin of investing money and buying a 3D printer, i checked out the Model Railroad 3D shop and i'm really interesting in buying lots of these models. The issue i have and don't understand is that i have N Scale. I was under the impression that 3D printing allowed us to resize things, so would these models work for N Scale? I don't want to invest in a printer if i can't use these models. Thank you in Advance!

[@marklinofsweden]

No, H0-scaled 3D-models cannot be downscaled and printed to N-scale. Sorry. They in general need to be designed to the correct size to print properly

[@nicolasg.6232]

@@marklinofsweden Oh so disapointing. Is there a chance that your project will expand N scale stuff in the near future?

[@George-tz1cv]

Videos were far more educational before you 3D printed everything.

[@brandonmoxley9437]

And another 3D printed “build”

[@heinwelters]

yes if you have a resin 3d printer you can do this but how do you make it bye hand with normal building materials that is real model work resin is to easy ahahah

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! Please check my video index for guides how to build platforms in other materials. I have as said in the video at least 3 previous videos where I scratchbuild every piece from ground up.
