Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Modern Long-Span Concrete Railroad Bridge Kit - 933-4592

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Modern Long-Span Concrete Railroad Bridge Kit - 933-4592 brings contemporary railroad infrastructure to an HO scale mainline. Based on high-capacity bridges constructed from prefabricated concrete sections, this Cornerstone kit represents the type of modern structure used to replace older railroad bridges from the 1990s to the present. It can carry a railroad across highways, other rail lines, and natural obstacles while adding a distinctly modern element to the right-of-way. The finished bridge measures 20-7/8 x 2-7/8" (53 x 7.3cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures.

The modular design allows the bridge to be built with one, two, or three 50-scale-foot spans, providing flexibility for different locations and available spaces. Modelers can also combine multiple kits to create a longer crossing. Three different piling arrangements are included, allowing the same bridge design to be adapted for highway crossings, railroad crossings, or locations where additional clearance is needed.

Build a Modern HO Scale Concrete Railroad Bridge

The Walthers Cornerstone Modern Long-Span Concrete Railroad Bridge includes several options for adapting the structure to a specific layout:

• Based on high-capacity prefabricated concrete railroad bridges
• Typical of replacement bridges used from the 1990s to the present
• Can be built with one to three spans
• Each span represents 50 scale feet (15.2m)
• Highway-crossing piling configuration included
• Railroad-crossing pilings with crash wall included
• Tee-style or hammerhead pilings provide additional clearance
• Detailed concrete abutments, curbs, and handrails
• Multiple kits can be combined for longer bridge installations
• Parts molded in concrete gray

The different piling options make this bridge useful for a variety of railroad scenes. The highway configuration can carry the mainline above a roadway, while the railroad-crossing version provides clearance for another track beneath the bridge. Tee-style supports can be used where additional open space is required below the structure. With railroad-crossing pilings, the bridge height is 4-11/16" (11.9cm); the highway and tee-style configurations measure 3-7/8" (9.8cm) high.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Railroad Infrastructure

The Modern Long-Span Concrete Railroad Bridge fits naturally with Walthers Cornerstone bridges and infrastructure when developing modern mainline crossings and transportation corridors. It can be combined with other bridge styles to represent infrastructure rebuilt or upgraded during different periods.
