Instantly bring your model railroad into the 21st century with this highly detailed, 3D-printed replica of a Modern Digital Train Inspection (DTI) Portal.
Modeled after the groundbreaking safety structures developed by Norfolk Southern and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), this cutting-edge trackside structure is the perfect signature element for contemporary layouts.
Prototypical Realism: Captures the unique architectural shape of the award-winning DTI enclosures seen in heavy-traffic lanes like Jackson, Georgia and Leetonia, Ohio.
Intricate Technical Detailing: Features scale-accurate representations of the 360-degree machine vision system, including rows of trackside inspection cameras, lighting and sensors.
Industrial Style Framework: Includes simulated high-intensity stadium lighting rigs and climate-control conduits designed to mirror the rugged, weatherproof prototype.
Modeler-Friendly Assembly: High-definition 3D print comes cleaned and with supported removed. The crisp surface is ready for standard primers, silver/galvanized steel paint schemes, and light weathering.
Layout Versatility: Engineered to clear standard rolling stock easily, making it an eye-catching addition alongside your main lines.
Prototype: Norfolk Southern / GTRI Digital Train Inspection Portal (Circa 2023–Present)
Material: High-precision, durable 3D-printed resin
Compatibility: Designed for standard single-track clearances
Don't let your layout get left in the past. Add the crown jewel of modern railway safety infrastructure to your line today!
To see how the actual structure operates under real-world conditions, you can watch this An Afternoon at the NS Digital Train Inspection Portal. This video showcases a train passing through the prototype location, highlighting how the intense stadium lighting functions when a railcar enters the scanner.
