Bridge Abutment For 4% Incline

Harold asks readers:

“I am looking for bridge abutment to work with Woodland Scenics 4% inclines. It appears I need something about 4″ tall. Does anyone know of a supplier?”

    I had a similar problem years ago when using the Atlas bridge piers. To get the height that I needed, I cut a block of wood to match the shape of the footing with the thickness that I needed for the proper height. You could also just build up the ground at the end of the riser to set an abutment on. Good luck with you project. Tim

  • Newman Atkinson says:

    I am with Tim. You can build what you need from scratch or build ground terrain to support the piers that you have. A little paint and imagination you can make some beautiful piers out of cheap ones to look like a million bucks. I have done some from cheap products and I have them looking good.
    Your Choice Go For It. Newman
