Part of the Walthers Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System, this kit includes two complete wing-style abutments designed especially for Cornerstone single-track bridges while remaining adaptable to similar bridge models. Based on a common railroad bridge support design, the abutments feature molded cut lines for height adjustment and multiple assembly options to fit different rights-of-way and terrain. Overall dimensions are 4-9/16 x 8-9/16 x 4-7/16" (11.5 x 21.7 x 11.2cm).

Bridge abutments form the transition between a railroad bridge and the adjoining earth-filled approach. They support the ends of the bridge while retaining the surrounding embankment, making them an important structural and visual element in a realistic bridge scene. Walthers based 933-4551 on the common wing-abutment style, with poured-concrete construction typical of railroad infrastructure from the 1920s onward.

Build an HO Scale Single-Track Railroad Bridge

The Walthers Cornerstone Single-Track Railroad Bridge Concrete Abutments provide several options for adapting a bridge installation to the terrain and structure being modeled:

• HO scale single-track railroad bridge concrete abutments
• Package includes parts for two complete abutments
• Part of the Walthers Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System
• Based on a common wing-abutment prototype design
• Simulates poured-concrete construction
• Typical of concrete railroad bridge abutments built from the 1920s onward
• Designed especially for Cornerstone single-track railroad bridges
• Adaptable for use with similar bridge models
• Choice of short or large headwalls
• Side wings can be installed parallel with the center section
• Side wings can also be installed at an angle
• Molded cut lines allow shorter abutments to be built if needed
• Compatible with Single-Track Railroad Bridge Concrete Piers 933-4550 for longer bridge spans
• Detailed styrene plastic construction
• Overall dimensions: 4-9/16 x 8-9/16 x 4-7/16" (11.5 x 21.7 x 11.2cm)

The adjustable design makes 933-4551 useful for both straightforward bridge installations and more customized terrain. The center portion, side wings, and large headwall include molded cut lines for building shorter abutments, while the wings can be positioned parallel to the center section or angled outward. This flexibility makes it easier to blend the finished bridge into embankments, cuts, waterways, roads, and other surrounding scenery.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Bridge System

The Single-Track Railroad Bridge Concrete Abutments are a natural addition to Walthers Cornerstone bridges and infrastructure. Walthers designed them especially for its Single-Track Through Girder Railroad Bridges, and matching Single-Track Railroad Bridge Concrete Piers 933-4550 can be added when constructing longer multi-span crossings.

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