Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale 50' Single-Track Railroad Through Girder Bridge Kit - 933-4501

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale 50' Single-Track Railroad Through Girder Bridge Kit - 933-4501 models a compact steel railroad bridge for HO scale main lines, branch lines, industrial tracks, and other rights-of-way. Part of the Walthers Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System, this through girder design places the track between the structural plate girders and provides a versatile span for crossings over roads, waterways, other tracks, and changing terrain. Finished dimensions are 6-15/16 x 2-3/8 x 1-3/32" (17.6 x 6 x 2.7cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and railroad infrastructure.

Through girder bridges are a familiar part of North American railroad infrastructure, especially where a relatively short steel span is required. Unlike a deck girder bridge, the track runs between the main plate girders, giving the bridge its distinctive profile. The compact 50' span makes this model especially useful where a longer bridge would overwhelm the scene while still providing the appearance of substantial railroad engineering.

Build an HO Scale 50' Single-Track Through Girder Bridge

The Walthers Cornerstone 50' Single-Track Railroad Through Girder Bridge combines a widely used prototype design with flexible construction options for realistic HO scale railroad scenes:

• HO scale 50' single-track railroad through girder bridge kit
• Walthers Cornerstone product number 933-4501
• Part of the Walthers Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System
• Based on a common North American railroad bridge design
• Through girder configuration with the track positioned between the plate girders
• Suitable for steam-, diesel-, and modern-era railroad layouts
• Ideal for shorter crossings over roads, waterways, other tracks, and scenic depressions
• Can be built with an open or ballasted deck
• Detailed simulated steel construction
• Authentic rivet and structural detailing
• Can be used as a stand-alone railroad bridge
• Useful as an approach span in larger bridge installations
• Optional center girder allows additional kits to be combined for double-track or wider bridge installations
• Compatible with components in the Walthers Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System
• Designed for WalthersTrack Code 83 Bridge Track or other suitable HO track, sold separately
• Parts molded in dark gray plastic
• Finished dimensions: 6-15/16 x 2-3/8 x 1-3/32" (17.6 x 6 x 2.7cm)

The 50-scale-foot span makes 933-4501 particularly useful for compact bridge scenes. Install it over a creek, drainage channel, roadway, another railroad track, or a narrow scenic opening, or combine it with compatible bridge supports and additional spans when creating a larger crossing. Its smaller footprint also makes it a practical choice for branch lines and industrial areas where space is limited.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Bridge System

The 50' Single-Track Railroad Through Girder Bridge is a versatile addition to Walthers Cornerstone bridges and infrastructure. As part of the Engineered Bridge System, it can be incorporated into larger bridge projects using compatible Cornerstone bridge piers, abutments, bridge shoes, and related infrastructure components.

Combine the completed bridge with Walthers Cornerstone railroad structures and Walthers Cornerstone trackside structures to develop the surrounding right-of-way. Additional bridge components and scene-building details can be found in Walthers Cornerstone accessories and details.
