Product Description
- Make your model road course or race track look like the real thing.
- Most accurate 1/32 scale replica of Armco guardrail available.
- Design based on extensive research in the field and online.
- Guardrail looks great and is effective at keeping cars corralled.
- Design is typical of guardrails installed on secondary roads after 1990, W-beam steel guardrail mounted on steel I-beam posts instead of wooden posts.
- At 1/32 scale, each I-beam post is 29” tall. Rail is 12” wide.
- Includes 8 pieces, each with 12" of rail connected to four I-beam posts.
- Pieces are easily glued together into multiples of 12”. Four pieces can be connected to make one smooth flexible rail 48” long, (128’ at 1/32 scale).
- Tapered pin is 3/8" long and molded to bottom of post for easy installation. Can be cut off if not needed.
- Requires one pair of Armco Stubby Nose Ends on I-beam posts, (sold separately) for finished look which increases total length of rail by about 3.75".
- Armco Rail as well as Stubby Nose Ends and Bullnose Ends on square, or round posts available upon request.
Installation Instruction
- Separate 8 pieces from sprue using sharp knife, razor saw, or hacksaw blade. (Do not remove posts from the rails.)
- To put a permanent twist or bend in a rail, heat the rail in very hot water. Quickly tape it to an object with the desired contour. When cool, remove it from object.
- Using cyanoacrylate (commonly sold under trade names such as "Super Glue" and "Krazy Glue"), join pieces of rail together. Apply glue to ends of both rails and to tab containing a small hole. Be sure to insert short pin into small hole in tab to ensure proper alignment and a secure connection.
- Paint the pieces as desired.
- Drill holes where you want the posts located in your layout. These should be spaced about 3” (76.2mm) apart, and oriented vertically. Make the diameter of these holes a little larger than the diameter of the pin to accommodate any misalignment of the holes.
- Now glue posts, with attached rail, into holes in your baseboard.
