Tom Q Fan posted a picture of an LGB wheel stop.
I designed one for O-scale.

Alan, really nice!!

Hmm... They might even work on Ross/Gargraves.
Alan: How much for say 50 of them?
they work on curves as small as 054 too, I have not tried on smaller radii.
note the bolting-like build on the side of the stops.
Yeah how much or will you share the stl?
Just curious, how long does it take to print something like this?
If you made them for different rail profiles might they be made to snap in place ? No screw needed. except for fastrack. Perhaps a small boss on the bottom which came down between ties to keep it from sliding on the rail. j
the time is about 2 hours for one and about 5 hours for 24 of them at a layer thickness of .1 mm for 211 layers using a mini-support raft.
The Gray v4 Resin is not so good with "SNAPPING" .
There are stronger resins that may be more snap-able or pliable but I'm not using those.
Further, there is a little more space provided for the rails so it can be use on curves.
The stop profile matches the wheel diameters used on most freight and passenger cars.
Engines and tenders have different wheel diameters. I have not tested this stop on those
the truck wheel will "slightly" roll up onto the stop and then roll back down. The stop should be placed close to the rail so that it does not interfere with the wheel flange. To do that the stop must be anchored with a track screw.
Just because I'm bored waiting for some opinions to be handed down, I have a version 4 that's a slight variation to the original stop.
this one engages the flange and wheel
These look great? Any chance you will be selling these?
These are great! I'm tempted to put in a order myself! I've got a team track that could use them.
send me a private message to discuss these.
More fantastic work!
