The Walthers Cornerstone 933-3070 HO Scale Operating Single-Track Railroad Bascule Bridge recreates one of the most popular movable-bridge designs used by railroad engineers. Wherever railways met waterways, lift bridges raised out of the way to clear passing ships. Hinged at one end, the bascule design opens like a jackknife, needing less space and fewer moving parts while still able to partially open for vessels of any size. Because it raises and lowers quickly, it was an ideal pick for busy rail lines handling everything from heavy steam to modern double-stacks.

This working model built from the 933-3070 kit captures the intense operation and fine detail of the real thing, big enough to look right yet sized to fit a layout. Detailed plastic parts reproduce the rivets and cross-sections of the steelwork, while a large concrete counterweight simulates the massive lifting assembly of the prototype. A bridge tender's shanty perched high in the beams and a brick trackside interlocking tower round out the scene. Hidden inside is a reliable low-speed motor that raises and lowers the bridge just like the prototype, and the 933-3070 is part of the Cornerstone Engineered Bridge System.
