Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Urban Concrete Overpass Kit - 933-4560

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Urban Concrete Overpass Kit - 933-4560 brings classic grade-separated railroad infrastructure to HO scale residential, suburban, commercial, and urban scenes. Part of the Walthers Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System, this detailed kit represents the more ornate concrete overpasses built from the World War I era onward as communities eliminated busy grade crossings. The model builds a double-track railroad ballasted-deck bridge over a two-lane roadway and features ornate concrete panels, walkway railings, arched column supports, and adjustable wing walls. Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and railroad infrastructure.

As automobile traffic increased during the early 20th century, railroads and communities increasingly separated road and rail traffic by replacing grade crossings with bridges and elevated rights-of-way. Concrete overpasses became a familiar part of the transportation landscape, particularly in residential and suburban areas. Many examples of these durable structures have remained in service for decades, allowing 933-4560 to fit naturally into layouts representing multiple railroad eras.

Build an HO Scale Double-Track Concrete Railroad Overpass

The Walthers Cornerstone Urban Concrete Overpass combines railroad and roadway infrastructure in one detailed structure for creating a realistic grade-separated HO scale scene:

• HO scale urban concrete railroad overpass kit
• Typical of ornate concrete overpasses built for residential and suburban areas from the World War I era onward
• Part of the Walthers Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System
• Builds a double-track railroad ballasted-deck bridge
• Two-lane roadway passes beneath the railroad bridge
• Scale 14' (4.2m) clearance between roadway and bridge deck
• Ornate concrete panels and walkway railings
• Detailed arched column supports
• Separate wing walls included
• Wing walls can be installed for straight or angled applications
• Compatible with Walthers Cornerstone Urban Retaining Walls 933-4562
• Roadway coordinates with Cornerstone Asphalt, Brick, and Concrete Street System components
• Detailed styrene plastic construction
• Overall size with wing walls: 12-3/8 x 9-1/4 x 3-1/16" (31.4 x 23.4 x 7.7cm)
• Bridge and abutments only: 8-1/2 x 5" (21.5 x 12.7cm)
• Track height from street: 2-5/8" (6.6cm)

The combination of a double-track railroad and street-level roadway makes 933-4560 especially useful for modeling areas where railroads pass directly through established neighborhoods and developed communities. The separate wing walls can be positioned for straight or angled installations, allowing the overpass to adapt to different scenery arrangements and right-of-way configurations.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Urban Railroad Scene

The Urban Concrete Overpass is a natural centerpiece for Walthers Cornerstone bridges and infrastructure. Pair it with the Walthers Cornerstone Urban Retaining Walls 933-4562 to extend the elevated railroad beyond the bridge and create a larger grade-separated right-of-way.

Combine the overpass with Walthers Cornerstone commercial and city buildings or Walthers Cornerstone residential buildings to develop the surrounding neighborhood. Additional railroad-side scenery can be added with Walthers Cornerstone trackside structures.
