Guardrails for O scale shelf layout

thingiverse

Guardrails for O scale wall layouts. I made these for my postwar on my wall because I was afraid it would fall off. These guardrails are the prefect solution. The design is simply some L brackets with holes to string steel wire through, acting as a rail. You can either just print the L brackets or print some trusses to add some cool architecture to the layout. I decided to add some trusses on the corners and it looks awesome! The trusses may be tricky because I designed them specifically for the width of the wood I used for my shelf. That being said, you may need to redesign them to fit snug onto your shelf. Note that they are designed for O scale trains to fit EXACTLY underneath, so anything larger will not fit.
