Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Double-Track Railroad Bridge Stone Pier - 933-4582

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Double-Track Railroad Bridge Stone Pier - 933-4582 adds a realistic cut-stone bridge support to double-track HO scale railroad crossings. Part of the Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System, this layout-ready resin casting is based on typical masonry bridge piers used from the 1800s onward with a variety of railroad bridge designs. Highly detailed stone surfaces with realistic color and texture make the pier suitable for steam-, diesel-, and modern-era layouts. Approximate dimensions are 5-3/4 x 1-3/16 x 5-3/16" (14.6 x 3 x 13.1cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and railroad infrastructure.

Stone bridge piers have supported railroad bridges for generations, making them useful details for layouts representing many different eras. Positioned beneath the center or intermediate spans of a bridge, a pier transfers the bridge load to the ground while allowing the structure to cross rivers, roads, valleys, and other obstacles. The traditional masonry appearance of 933-4582 works especially well for modeling older railroad infrastructure that has remained in service as locomotives, rolling stock, and surrounding railroad facilities have changed over time.
