Hello, this listing is for a pair of platform ramps, suitable for creating a timber sleeper built platform on O gauge / 7mm scale layouts.
Each piece is produced in white cast resin from my own masters and moulds. Ramps feature individual sleepers with prototypical splits, bolt holes and chair marks, so characteristic of old used sleepers.Each ramp measures approx. 115mm long x 31mm high.
Platforms constructed in this way were typical of many wayside halts and small rural stations where traffic was light and economy of construction was important. They are particularly characteristic of light railways and featured prominently in the Colonel Stephens group of lines. At larger stations sleeper built platforms could be seen forming goods loading bays, provender merchants facilities and cattle docks, as well as extensions to masonry and stone passenger platforms.
Pieces paint well with either acrylic or oil based paints. The examples in the photos were painted dark brown then dry brushed with lighter shades of brown and grey to bring out the detail
Matching straight platform faces are available under a separate listing.
Thank you for looking, please see my other listings for 7mm scale buildings, rolling stock components and useful bits and pieces.
Enquiries for combined postage welcomed.
