How to build the kit:

• You will get 5 pieces of 3D-printed platform edges with typical details seen on an Indian Railway platform, including the concrete slabs and the cables.
• This kit also includes 2 ramps for each end and makes a 30 inches long platform.
• The edges have gluing surfaces and you can glue 0.5-0.8mm thick cardboard/styrene/sun board/PVC boar/HIP board as the platform surface.
• You need to paint the 3D-printed platform edges in concrete color or the color of your choice.
• To complete the surface, you can use any of the 3 textures available below:
  
• Download the texture of your choice
• Print them on normal paper at high quality
• Use a spray varnish to thoroughly cover the printed surface AS WELL AS THE BACK of the paper. This will protect the paper from humidity, rough handling, and any water in the glue. Leave it for 24 hours.
• Cut the base surface as per your requirement and glue the textured paper. Cut along the edges.
• Glue the platform edges to the base. Secure with clamps/weights for good adhesion. Leave for 24 hours.

• Place the station beside the track, ensuring you have enough clearance for your widest rolling stock.

Making LONGER Platforms:

To make a longer than 30-inche platform, you will need our expansion kit(s). Each expansion kit extends your platform by another up to 30 inches or any length between 30-60 inches.

• This EXPANSION kit contains ALL STRAIGHT edges and NO RAMPS. It is meant to be an ADD-ON to our Platform Starter Kit to make longer platforms. You can make a 30-inch long section of a platform using this kit.
• The kit is meant to be installed in between the Platform Starter kit to make a platform that is up to 60 inches long. You can put as many expansion kits as you want between a starter kit to get as long a platform as you want.

For one platform, you need ONLY ONE STARTER KIT, and then as many expansion kits as you need for the length you desire.

Our kits are 'made-to-order' - meaning we will start 3D printing once we receive the full payment from you and your order is confirmed. It takes anywhere between 14 to 21 days to print, post-process, pack and dispatch our kits.
