Does anyone make highway guardrail?

Here are some in HO scale.

I don't know if this helps but I use a lot of HO on my O scale layout as background.  It helps to give the illusion of distance.

Hi George

Lionel makes a straight and curved one - or at least they did. item numbers 6-22379 for the straight one and 6-22370 for the curved. I use them

Let me know, i think I have some extras depending on how many you are after.

Another option might be to re-purpose those made for slot-car use.

Since you're looking for the 'modern' style guardrails, here's what I'd do...

Get some styrene corrugated sheet stock.  JTT Products (the scenery division of MRC) makes 5 sizes, the first two of which are suitable for roofing for HO and O scales respectively.  The O scale corrugations would be too closely spaced ror a guardrail. However, the next three sizes might work well...

JTT 97404  1:32 scale corrugated roofing

JTT 97405  1:24

JTT 97406  1:16

I don't have specific corrugation spacing for these larger scale sheets.  But they're all available at any LHS that is served by Horizon Hobby Distributors, and others.

2 sheets of any size are less than $10.

So, then what I'd do for the guardrail is simply cut strips of pairs of corrugations of the appropriate size lengthwise.  There's your guardrail!!

The posts are I beam stock...available from several sources at the LHS.

Those curly pieces at the ends?  Heck, I'd cut a strip of plain paper a little wider than the guardrails.  Then I'd curl one end of the paper around a small rod to give that end configuration, and then shape/glue the other paper end to the guardrail.

Paint the whole shebang a gray/silver/rusty color....shinier if new suits you...and await the compliments!

But, that's just a suggestion...in the absence of a commercial kit.

FWIW, always...

I think this is what you are looking for, Super Streets, come is curved and straight, radius can be altered works great.

Make my own from Plastruc sheet material and plastic I beam stock.

Yes.  Part numbers?

Ralph,

I checked them out.

6-22379 leads to this:  http://www.lionel.com/Products/Finder/ProductDetail.cfm?ProductNumber=6-22379&expandBranch=0&Keywords=6%2D22379&CategoryID=0&RailLineID=&CatalogId=

6-22370 comes up dry on the Lionel Product Locator.  I haven't seen anything that resembles the curved section.

George

Sorry George

I copied the incorrect numbers from my spreadsheet.

The straight is 6-22470

                          SuperStreets 10" Straight Guard Rail (2)                          

6-22356 for the curved one, though there isn't a picture

                          SuperStreets D21 Curve Guard Rail (2)                          

Thank you, Ralph.  That's worth looking into.
