Soon I hope to be installing a bridge on my N scale layout. It's Unitrack and I will be using a Kato single track deck truss. I want to cast my own concrete bridge abutments.
All the commercial available bridge abutments I have seen would need some modifications in order to fit a deck truss. So, I am planning to simply build my own. I plan on making some molds and casting my own concrete style bridge abutments. I was going to use heavy card, foamcore or some leftover scraps of matte board to make the molds and then cast it out of plaster. If I can get an initial cast to come out well, I can then make a rubber mold and cast multiple abutments in resin.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for this?
