Deck girder bridges have been used for decades on railroads large and small. Unlike through-girder designs, the main structural girders are positioned below the track level, leaving the sides and overhead area open for passing trains. The compact 30' span makes this model useful for shorter crossings as well as approach spans leading to larger bridges.

Build an HO Scale Single-Track Deck Girder Bridge

The Walthers Cornerstone 30' Single-Track Railroad Deck Girder Bridge includes several features for incorporating the structure into a railroad right-of-way:

• Standard-level 30-scale-foot single-track deck girder bridge
• Part of the Walthers Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System
• Based on a common railroad bridge design
• Suitable for steam, diesel, and modern-era layouts
• Can be built with an open or ballasted deck
• Useful as a standalone bridge or an approach span for larger bridge structures
• Compatible with Cornerstone Single-Track Center Piers and Abutments, sold separately
• Can be combined with Steel Bridge Towers and Bridge Tower Bents to create a viaduct
• Detailed plastic parts molded in dark gray
• Finished size of 4-3/16 x 1-3/16 x 1-3/16" (10.6 x 3 x 3cm)

The short span gives modelers several options when designing a crossing. It can bridge a narrow waterway, road, drainage area, or other obstacle, or serve as one section of a larger bridge complex. Walthers also offers matching 50', 70', and 90' standard-level deck girder bridges, allowing different span lengths to be combined when modeling a larger viaduct.
