Wintergarden railing thickness
« on: 12 Dec , 2010, 09:14 »
Does someone know the correct scale thickness of the wintergarden railings?
I am now at the point of selecting brass wire for this job.







Thanks,



Karel

Karel, I have yet to see any original German measurements for the railing, but for my drawing I went for 40 mm for the upper and 20 mm for the lower.

Not sure if you know, but were are several different styles of railing;

(Like in my drawing)
100% Large
50% Small
25% Small
Netting
5% Smaller

100% Large
50% Small
Netting
10% Small

100% Large
50% Smaller
No netting (Maybe they were going to add it later???)
10% Very Small (Looks like about 10 mm)

I think Dougie's Wolfpack covers this. The top rail was quite thick, and the rest much thinner. Check out the AMP website/Library/Wolfpack: http://amp.rokket.biz/lib_uboats.shtml
