Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Urban Retaining Walls Kit - 933-4562 makes it easier to model elevated railroad tracks, highways, and other transportation infrastructure in HO scale urban, commercial, industrial, and suburban scenes. Part of the Walthers Cornerstone Urban Road & Rail Overpass series, this versatile 60-piece kit represents poured concrete retaining walls built from the 1920s onward. Tall and short wall sections, connectors, customizable end plates, railings, and supports provide the components needed to adapt elevated rights-of-way to both new and existing layouts. Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and infrastructure.

Retaining walls are an important feature wherever railroads and highways pass through developed areas with limited space and changing elevations. They can support elevated railroad rights-of-way, separate transportation corridors from surrounding neighborhoods, and help integrate bridges and overpasses into the terrain. Based on poured concrete walls used from the 1920s onward, the Cornerstone Urban Retaining Walls can fit layouts representing many different railroad eras.

Build HO Scale Elevated Tracks and Urban Transportation Scenes

The Walthers Cornerstone Urban Retaining Walls Kit includes 60 parts and multiple wall configurations for customizing an elevated railroad or roadway scene:

• HO scale poured concrete retaining wall system
• Simulates concrete retaining walls built from the 1920s onward
• Simplifies modeling elevated railroad tracks in new or existing scenery
• Includes eight tall 4-panel retaining walls
• Each tall wall measures 8 x 2-1/2" (20.3 x 6.3cm)
• Includes eight short 4-panel retaining walls
• Each short wall measures 8 x 1" (20.3 x 2.5cm)
• Eight tall connectors included
• Eight short connectors included
• Eight customizable end plates included
• Railings included
• Eight short wall supports included
• Four short wall corner connectors included
• Molded cut lines simplify customization
• Multiple kits can be combined to create larger retaining wall installations
• Parts molded in concrete gray

The modular components allow modelers to create long straight retaining walls, corners, transitions, and other configurations needed to fit a specific layout. Use the walls beside elevated railroad tracks, beneath bridges and overpasses, along urban transportation corridors, or as a visual transition between different elevations. Additional kits can be combined when a larger city or railroad project requires longer wall sections.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Urban Railroad Scene

The Urban Retaining Walls are especially useful with Walthers Cornerstone bridges and infrastructure. Walthers designed the wall system for easy use with its Urban Overpass kits and Elevated Commuter Station, while the components can also be adapted to other bridge projects.

Combine the retaining walls with Walthers Stations & Depots when building an elevated passenger railroad scene, or surround the right-of-way with Walthers Cornerstone commercial and city buildings. Additional railroad-side scenery can be added from Walthers Cornerstone trackside structures.
