Small N Scale Passenger Shelter....with shake shingles.....

This print gives you the option for a shake shingle roof. The shingles are scaled to real dimensions so the print requires a resin printer unless you have a filament printer that is capable of printing detail down to .005"/.127mm.

 

This is a really small structure at less than 1"/23mm wide so you should be able to find a place for it on about any layout. Could be used as a small flag-stop RR passenger shelter and/or a bus shelter. There were many of ones similar to these in actual use.

Both shelters are similar with the exception of the bracing detail.

The shingles came out better than I expected them to at this scale. Painting can really make them pop.

I orientated the prints like above for printing. I try and keep the supports off any surface that is going to be visible if possible as with some surfaces it is hared to sand/file the little support nubs off without also damaging the surface they are on. Printing was done on an AnyCubic Photon M3 that I got on sale for $207 a couple years ago. The Siraya Tech Build resin that was used is what I use for everything since it is has great detail, strong, somewhat flexible and can be drilled and tapped if needed.

You can find the print files for this buildings on my thingiverse account ( HERE ).

You can find a couple hundred other items that you can print on my website ( HERE ).
