Let's Build This Walthers HO Scale Modern Concrete Bridge
Ойын-сауық
Trains can now safely pass over the Greene River on my UP St. Marshall Sub layout.
This Walthers Short Span Concrete Bridge kit was fun to build, and very customizable for different installation needs.
This video highlights the steps I followed to build the bridge. For the most part, the instructions were sufficient. Just think through the entire build process before starting, so you have a good idea what needs done and in what order.
Basically, I used left-over Christmas wrapping paper to tape all the parts to after I cut them from the sprue. This way I can work efficiently by focusing on one task at a time. Cut everything, sand everything, glue everything, then paint everything.
By taping the parts to the paper, I can write their part numbers with the parts, in case the kit takes several nights to build.
Weathering was straight forward with Pan Pastel chalks, but you could airbrush the weathering and it would look just as good.
Any comments or questions, leave those down below, then take a second and share this video! Thanks friends.

That was very interesting concept with the parts to the paper. Good pointers in this one, the printed parts looked great! Nice project! (Dave).

@@signalupproductions great to hear for sure.
nice job, to bad they don't give you long enough parts for the base, but really turned out nice with the ones you printed off.

Yeah the bridge sections are modular. It can be in 50ft increments up to 200ft scale. Hopefully they will consider including various lengths of piers in the future.
turned out nice, but why not leave the parts on the sprue until you need them...save the tape, save the christmas wrap, save the time, came out great thou...

As I mention in the description, it's more efficient to focus on a single task, cut everything out, then sand it all down. Cut a part, sand a part, glue a part, the repeat takes a little longer. Also, I have noticed the parts for the whole kit are molded together despite their order of assembly. By cutting them out, they can be arranged on the paper in the order that they will be used in the build process.

@@signalupproductions In that ol green belt management theory on efficiency Id agree with you on mass production levels, but definitely not with a single kit build....the time you took to cut paper, tape parts down , write the sprue numbers down then untape them and remove tape residue and organize them is a big wash on time and efficiency in my opinion... but to each his own...bridge came out great..
