Modern Signal Bridges

[John]

The M&O Signal Department is starting to upgrade the plant ..










Files are HO by Sirswitchalot on Tinkercad converted to Nscale (54% reduction) -- this would mount nicely on an electronic plug for easy removal .. in N scale, some additional supports are probably needed -- its a bit fragile otherwise .

Are these files publicly available?

Yes .. look here -- they are HO, but if you print them reduced by 54% you have a good start on an Nscale signal bridge

Cool, gives me hope that I can make some of the old N&W cantilevers down the road.

They come in sections .. I would join them in a CAD program as one or two pieces for some extra strengh ... the other thing worth doing is possibly increasing the diameter for the corner posts on the tower a little for more strength

Shows up as blank for me.

These?

I have dabbled in 3D printing myself with a resin printer. Those look great. Whoever made them did a nice job.

I feel that would actually be easier to scratch build with some plastruct bits, sans the signals.

Yeah, that's the usual problem with scaling HO models down to N. The parts get so thin they're too fragile or won't print at all.  But it's a good base to start with.
