ISO Sources for PRR hairpin railing (HO scale)

Might inquire over on The "HONGZ" Forum

I have a package of this somewhere you are welcome to have if I can find it

Here you go, George.  Use Phosphor Bronze wire (also from Tichy) to represent the pipes.

Ben, thanks.  But that is actually PRR railing that goes between tracks at stations.  I've seen it called hairpin railing, but that's not really the correct term.

Hi Bob,

Yeah, I actually have some of these (but not the wire).  They were my first attempt.  Unfortunately, the stanchions are very delicate and I'm not sure my fine motor skills (or lack thereof) are up to it.  My preference would be to purchase a length of already assembled or 3-D printed railing.

Thank you, though.

How about these then?

At about a dollar an inch, it isn't really cheap but it is fast.  The Tichy stuff is cheap (about a dollar a foot) and is relatively fast, but a little picky to work with as you've noted.

Now that is funny.  I looked on Shapeways and didn't see it.  I have some of the same vendor's O scale railing. 

And of course, my e-mails to him have gone unanswered.  

Why is the hobby world full of curmudgeons who wouldn't know customer service if it bit them in the ***?

Thank you, Bob.  This solves my problem.
