Paul_C Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Suggestions please for iron railings (4mm scale) for my lift bridge. I've had an initial search but would like to get something that's as close as possible to save scratch building. Thanks. Paul C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crompton 33 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) What i have done to get a fence like what you want. I got the Ratio 421 fence then removed the top and bottom spikes. Edited June 10, 2020 by crompton 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Rixon Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 It looks like a modern railing, made of tubes, rather than a traditional one, made of narrow, solid rods. Assuming that the thinest parts are 2" across or more, they could be printed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_C Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Guy, I have had a response from Daniel at 3D Printingcorner and he is currently working on my request. I painstakingly went to some extreme lengths to get the correct measurements in order to have the 4mm version as per the real thing. I felt that this was important as the bridge is all accurately to scale. A friend of mine still lives there and he very kindly stopped one day recently as he was passing and took a full set of measurements so I've been able to give Daniel some spot on stats. I'll post a couple of photos when I get them. Paul C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_C Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hello Guy, I have just had a reply from Daniel at 3D Printingcorner with images attached. He has done a final draft for my railings and they have come out really well. I just need to measure the model now to determine how many lengths I need to order. Should look pretty good once they're all fitted and painted. Sorry about the third image, tried every way to rectify it but no luck. Paul C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
