I'm looking to install another bridge on my HO layout. Buying an abutment for the track should (in my opinion) not cost as much as I've found. I've found that the 3D printed versions cost even more. Therefore, before I proceed in my endeavor to experiment with stiff foam material, I was wondering if anyone created their abutments using foam instead of buying them pre-manufactured ?
If I'm successful in making two abutments from foam, I'll share images of what I created.... but don't hold your breath.
I've made bridge abutments from foam, basswood, plywood, pine 2x4, styrene, and plaster cast in molds made from the plastic trays some cookies come in. The only times I've used commercial bridge abutments is on display layouts for a store to show off the products there were selling.

Good news. Thanks.
