From the earliest
days of railroading, the civil engineers who
laid out the line faced low spots, streams and
other obstacles that had to be crossed. This
required some sort of bridge, and in many cases,
a trestle was a cheaper, faster option. Trestles
consist of a series of piers, called bents,
which support the track. Wood was the favored
building material until the 1940s, and many
survive on branches and less busy lines to this
day. Where piers could not be erected, such as
in a flowing stream, a highway, or across
another railroad, a deck girder bridge would be
installed as part of the structure.
This versatile kit opens lots of detailing
options along your right-of-way. Perfect for use
in virtually any era, the detailed plastic parts
simulate the all-wood construction of the
prototypes. The optional deck girder bridge
gives you added flexibility, whether installed
with existing scenery, or in planning new
construction. Complete instructions make
construction quick and easy. |

Whether a small stream or a busy highway, railroads have long
relied on bridges to carry the right-of-way safely across
natural and man-made obstacles. One of the most common railroad
bridge designs is the through plate girder. Used for many
decades, this design is constructed of several steel sections
riveted together to form girders. They're known as through types
as the track passes between, rather than on top of the spans.
Bridges of this type are typically used to cross short distances
of about 30 to 100' 9.1 to 30.4m.
This model is typical of railroad bridges found all over North
America from the steam era to the present day. The kit can be
built either as a single- or a double-track bridge. Each
includes parts for two complete spans, but the design makes it
easy to combine additional kits (sold separately) to build a
longer or wider bridge if needed. The plastic parts are molded
in color and feature authentic rivets and other fine details.
Easily installed in new or existing layouts, the kit includes
complete instructions.

Walthers Cornerstone
Single-Track Truss Bridge Cornerstone Plastic Kits
20 x 3-1/4 x 5" 50 x 8.1 x 12.5cm
Order. item.
933-3185
HO scale, $24.98
Found on railroads large and small, truss bridges are the most
common type used by railroads. Installed anywhere a longer span
is needed, truss bridges like this model are used above streams,
rivers, other rail lines and roads where clearance is required
below the structure. With its realistic trusses, chords and
bridge shoes, it adds authenticity to your right of way. Safety
sign and graffiti decals let you add the finishing touch.
Because these structures have been in use since the late 1800s,
this bridge will look right on any steam-era pike, yet its tall
enough to clear modern double-stacks and auto racks. |

The
truss-type bridge is among the most common
railroad styles. Early designs date to the
1820s, when wood was standard. As trains became
heavier, cast-iron and wood were used. The
development of the Bessemer process made steel
bridges possible. This kit is typical of steel
bridges throughout North America. Trusses,
chords and bridge shoes, plus safety sign and
graffiti decals, are included. |
