3mm 14.2 Templot trackbase

Watching the Bexhill West You Tube channel encouraged me to have a go at producing a trackbase for 14.2.

Yes I know the 3mm Society does a chaired trackbase, but I was after something that could be homebrewed and easy to make.

Well bit the bullet and via Templot was able to produce a 14.2 base 3D printed to scale 40' length which took up the length of the baseplate.

Now what to do for chairs? I have a filament printer which is good for printing large items but not so hot for small items like track chairs, it is suggested a resin printer is used for these.

However as luck would have it, I have a load of Society pegged chairs which were produced for point kits using a ply base, so there was the solution.

Here are the results.
