Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale 30' Single-Track Railroad Through Girder Bridge Kit - 933-4500

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale 30' Single-Track Railroad Through Girder Bridge Kit - 933-4500 models a compact steel railroad bridge for HO scale main lines, branch lines, industrial tracks, and other rights-of-way. Based on one of the most common North American railroad bridge designs, this Cornerstone model is part of the Engineered Bridge System and can be combined with compatible bridge piers, abutments, and additional spans. The through girder design places the track between the structural plate girders, creating a realistic short-span crossing for highways, waterways, other railroad tracks, and changing terrain. Finished dimensions are 4-7/32 x 2-3/8 x 1" (10.7 x 6 x 2.5cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and railroad infrastructure.

Plate-girder railroad bridges are typically used for relatively short spans, and through girder designs place the track between rather than above the main girders. Constructed from steel sections joined to form substantial structural girders, bridges of this general type have been used by railroads for decades. The compact 30' span makes 933-4500 especially useful where a longer bridge would be unnecessary, while its versatile prototype design fits steam-, diesel-, and modern-era layouts.
