Five Arch Retaining Wall - Reworked 

Redesigned "Thing:2787388" "Retaining wall and fence, N scale railroad.
by Syncmanatl February 08, 2018"    

My revision was done in Tinkercad.  Created a five panel wall that is 100 scale feet long.  Took off the fence and added a 'concrete beam" to the top and bottom of the wall.  Rescaled it to make the arches taller and narrower.  

Be sure to rotate it so it lays flat on the bed of the printer (PLA on a Creality CR-6) 

I used it on an N Scale layout, but it's a wall, scale to whatever and you can imagine the individual bricks are whatever size you imagine them to be.

<div><p>Rebuilding my layout and fiddling with the tiny metal NMRA gauge to check tunnel clearances isn&apos;t fun.  Designed two Double Track tunnel clearance gauges, one for straight the other for curves,  seems NMRA wants a little wider tunnel entry if the track is curved at the point of the entry  The standard is 15mm from track centre to wall of tunnel - then add the distance between tracks.  For straight track I went with 27mm track spacing (about 1.25&quot;) assuming a modern mainline.  The curved one gives an extra 5mm at 32mm track spacing.  Height was based on my NMRA gauge, plus a little wiggle room.  Will depend on your track code and your roadbed, if need be glue a foam bottom on the gauge to add a mm or two.  </p>
<p>This is my first design,  just learning so be kind.  Done in Tinkercad. </p></div>

Roshi (Easy print no support)

"But, you know, my lessons don't come free. You must find me a young gal! It's the only way I can start training you."
— Master Roshi towards Goku

Hello today I add to the Dragon Ball collection to Kame-Sen'nin also known as Muten Roshi, this perverted old man is considered the most powerful human.
I hope you like it and that you enjoy printing it

Until the next design, happy printing

<div><p>Since I thought that grapha3d&apos;s design was beautiful and practical but did not trust neither ABS nor Nylon to not act as an abrasive on the car itself, I took the tip, made a hole in it and added two fittings for either a 8mm or 10 mm nut so that you can use whatever bolts you have lying around and screw the tip onto either a rubber hockey puck or a generic jack pad - as I have done. This can be printed in almost any material since it only guides and holds the load bearing puck in place.</p></div>
