Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Double-Track Railroad Bridge Concrete Abutments 2-Pack - 933-4553 provides the support structures needed to integrate double-track bridges into an HO scale model railroad. Based on a common poured-concrete prototype design, these abutments can be used with a variety of bridge styles on steam-, diesel-, and modern-era layouts. The kit includes parts for two complete abutments with wing walls, with a maximum size of 11-1/4 x 3-1/4 x 5-1/4" (28.6 x 8.3 x 13.3cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and railroad infrastructure.

Bridge abutments support the ends of a bridge while also providing a transition between the bridge structure and the surrounding embankment. Walthers designed these concrete abutments as part of its Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System, allowing them to coordinate with compatible double-track railroad bridges and other bridge components. Their poured-concrete appearance also makes them adaptable to other bridge projects.

Build an HO Scale Double-Track Bridge

The Walthers Cornerstone Double-Track Railroad Bridge Concrete Abutments include several features for customizing a bridge installation:

• Parts for two complete concrete bridge abutments
• Wing walls included with each abutment
• Simulated poured-concrete construction
• Common prototype design suitable for several bridge styles
• Appropriate for steam-, diesel-, and modern-era layouts
• Molded cut lines allow the height to be adjusted for different scenery requirements
• Three styles of headwalls included for use with compatible Cornerstone bridge designs
• Part of the Walthers Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System
• Plastic parts molded in an appropriate base color
• Maximum dimensions of 11-1/4 x 3-1/4 x 5-1/4" (28.6 x 8.3 x 13.3cm)

The molded cut lines are especially useful when fitting the abutments into existing terrain. Modelers can adjust their height to match the bridge deck and surrounding scenery rather than designing the entire landscape around a fixed-height support. The included wing walls extend outward from the main abutments and help transition the bridge approaches into adjoining cuts, fills, and embankments.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Bridge System

These Double-Track Concrete Abutments fit naturally with Walthers Cornerstone bridges and infrastructure when creating complete railroad crossings. They can be paired with compatible double-track bridges and additional piers when building longer spans or crossings that require intermediate support.
