Bridge Abutments

[GNRi1959]

The lower end of Omagh North Cabin featured a plate girder bridge that carried the road over the railway. The girders were supported by a standard cut stone wall and curved abutments that were back-filled with soil. Does anyone have any details or dimensions for such structures that were pretty much very common on the GNRi

Have you any photographs of it, or a similar structure ???

Most of those cut stone structures were built in either 12" or 16" courses, usually to suit a secondary brick layer, but without any reference material it's impossible to say. R

Tony, 

Print this off on A4 - no scaling - and you should have something to get started on. 12" stone coursing on the pillars or 4mm in scale. Am sure Wills et al have something suitable. R
