This STL model set includes several variations of trackside electrical distribution boxes, as commonly seen along German railway lines. These units are typically located near signals and safety equipment, often right beside the tracks. Their distinctive yellow tops make them a familiar and eye-catching element on real-world installations.
The set contains multiple STL files, each featuring a different box design – all modeled with high detail for use in H0 scale (1:87). The variations are visible in the product images.
Painting Recommendations:
Base: Black
Support post: Silver
Top section: Yellow
Apply a sepia or brown wash to enhance depth and realism.
Optionally finish with dry brushing in silver or a lighter shade to bring out surface texture.
Pro Tip:For efficient batch painting, place multiple printed models (base facing down) on a piece of cardboard using double-sided tape. This method allows you to prime and paint many units at once with minimal handling effort.
Printing Notes:
Designed exclusively for resin/SLA 3D printing.Supports are required – angle the model slightly in your slicer and add supports for optimal results.These models are small and fragile – handle with care during post-processing.
If you want to use the files for a bigger Scale, you can scale up the Models in your Slicer:0 1:45 87 ÷ 45 ≈ 1,933 +93,3 %1 1:32 87 ÷ 32 ≈ 2,719 +171,9 %G 1:22,5 87 ÷ 22.5 ≈ 3,867 +286,7 %
FDM printers are not suitable due to the fine details and small scale.
Included:
11 STL files with different box designs for variation in your layout.
