Signs

[NW Modeling List]

Hi, Jim -

I'd have some serious concerns about the durability of cast-resin
rails in this kit. Given that Giant Hands will be moving around the
layout, breakage WILL happen. I'd suggest the code 55 rail instead.
Buy one bundle of rails, clip it into appropriate usable lengths,
(perhaps 2x the visible height above grade,) and include THAT with the
kit. Faster to produce, nominal cost, AND most especially, durable.  A
flexible plastic like HDPE would be even better, but then you are
looking at injection molding.

My 2 centavos,

Given that most modelers now use flex track, getting pieces of separate, small rail would be more work, so I’m opting to include resin copies of the rail in the sets.  You can always replace with metal rail if desired.
