Model Railway track wedges designed for curves to have a camber as the train goes around the curve.
Included is range of wedges that can be used to achieve the desired camber around your curve, print as many as you need to go around each bend. start with minimum angle wedges and build up to the desired angle you require. All wedges include a 1.5mm hole if you require track pins to hold down the track.
The wedges are designed for OO/HO track and the description on the wedges reflects this. If you print as different gauge sizes then the angle will be correct but the height will not be.
for O print at 158%, 1:48 Scale.
Angles included,
1 Degree, Approx 0.5mm High,
1.5 Degree, Approx 0.75mm High,
2 Degree, Approx 1mm High,
2.5 Degree, Approx 1.25mm High,
3 Degree, Approx 1.5mm High,
3.5 Degree, Approx 1.75mm High,
4 Degree, Approx 2mm High,
4.5 Degree, Approx 2.25mm High,
5 Degree, Approx 2.5mm High.
The wedges are designed to be on a resin 3D printer as the tips of the wedges get very thin, 1Degree , 1.5Degree and 2Degree are shorter because they are to thin to fully print. All wedge are designed to be lined up with the outside edge of the sleeper. When printing I recommend printing from thickest side first to the thin tip, I have included STL files with print supports added.
