HO Scale Guardrails
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 16, 2004 8:09 PM
Hi All,
First time on the forum for me, so I haven't had a chance to really explore past subjects. I am modeling a carferry facility and trying to look prototypical. I am in need of highway guardrails (HO scale). But, Walthers catalog has non, and I'm not aware of any manufacturer. I could probably scratch my own, but I would like options. Anybody have any info?

Welcome Dan!

Try using plastic coffee stir sticks & the appropriate sized lumber, that's what I'm doing. I've only been able to find brown ones so I'm having to paint them.

I have the Pikestuff guardrails...........very authentic.
Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

Thank Guys,
Will checkout the coffee stir straws. How long are the lengths of the Pikestuff guardrails? I'll have from seven to ten feet to protect .
