Adding handrails to GP7

[RobertInOntario]

just get some new wire and bend the whole thing as one piece. Though i've seen people manage to merge the two stock wire pieces, i think its more of a headache in the long run.

all the smokey valley handrails are like that, and i've never understood that, except maybe for packing purposes.

Thanks! Maybe it's for packing purposes or maybe they simply mass produce a batch of generic handrails that end up having to be "custom" fitted for each model?

I also thought of using some thicker (i.e. slightly too large / out-of-scale) wire because my young son often handles my models. If the wire is too fine or flimsy, I'll almost certainly end up having to fix it at some point. I'm not too worried about the out-of-scale issue because, when viewed from a distance, the handrails will probably still look realistic.

Cheers,
