The product, in photographs

These photographs show the actual models. Click a photograph to inspect the original at full size.

One modular family

Start with the lanes.
We’ll work out the pieces.

A gateline is the whole installation. ATG means Automatic Ticket Gate; WAG means Wide Aisle Gate, the accessible passage. Combine standard and accessible lanes in the order that fits your station.

Each M code identifies a shared pedestal module. Neighbouring modules complete a passage: nine lanes need ten pedestal pieces. Closed, open towards the platforms and open towards the concourse are separate static display choices.

This is a modelled interpretation of UK railway equipment, with deliberate miniature printing concessions. It is not an official manufacturer product or an exact reconstruction of a particular station.

A clear recipe.
No guesswork at the bed.

  1. Choose your gateline. Set the viewing side, lane count, standard or accessible widths, and each opening state in the configurator.
  2. Select the named objects. Save a working copy of the catalogue in Bambu Studio. Keep your M codes, clone any repeats, delete the others, then arrange and re-slice.
  3. Keep the order. Follow the numbered map before lifting parts. Join the half-floor sections in the given left-to-right order. Keep the concourse/platform orientation.
  4. Finish for your layout. Leave the print as it is, paint or spray it, and optionally glaze the accessible leaf apertures.

Outside faces on the two end pedestals omit their non-serving QR scanner. Middle pedestals serve both neighbouring lanes. Don’t rotate an end piece to add a scanner.

Two nine-lane examples

Closed, or a station
in motion.

Bank A · All closed

Two accessible lanes, then seven standard lanes. Ten named pieces on Plate 1.

M04 → M28 → M25 → M07 ×6 → M43

Bank B · Mixed states

Accessible lane 1 opens towards the concourse; accessible lane 2 is closed. Standard lane 5 opens towards the platforms and lane 7 towards the concourse; the others are closed.

M06 → M40 → M25 → M07 → M08 → M13 → M09 → M19 → M07 → M43

Optional finishing

A little glazing.
A convincing detail.

Paul filled the accessible gate apertures with Deluxe Materials Glue ’n’ Glaze (AD55), using a cocktail stick. He reports a successful dried result.

  1. Work on an identified printed accessible gate, with the aperture supported comfortably.
  2. Use the cocktail stick to form a thin film across the opening, following the product instructions.
  3. Let it dry fully before handling or photographing the clear result. Repeat for the other apertures.

Grey matte PLA gave Paul the best results. Silk PLA caused problems in his trials and is not recommended for this miniature kit. Paint, spray and glazing are optional finishes.

Figures, station architecture, scenic backgrounds, paints and glazing materials are not part of the model download.

Scale options

Made for OO.
Other scales to explore.

The supplied geometry is OO 1:76.2 at 100%. N and O are untested resizing suggestions: scale uniformly, arrange and re-slice, then test before a full print.
