About product

Hauler 1:87 Safety cage ladders - photo-etched ladders with a safety cage

A photo-etched accessory from the Czech maker Hauler for 1:87 scale, that is for HO size. It is not a model of a machine but a set of vertical ladders fitted with a safety cage, of the kind mounted on silos, tanks, chimneys, cranes and process towers. The parts are etched from thin metal sheet and bent into their final shape.

Where such a ladder comes from in reality

The safety cage encloses the climber and prevents a fall backward; on fixed ladders running to a height it is a standard safety feature. On a diorama this detail therefore gives away an industrial setting at once: a storage tank, a pumping station, a waterworks or a hall with an outside way up to the roof. In HO it is among the elements that tell the eye a scene was made honestly and not just out of the box.

How to work with photo-etching

Separate the parts with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, not with pliers, which will deform the sheet. Take the bends over a steel ruler or a photo-etch bender, so that the edge stays straight along its whole length. Cyanoacrylate glue holds the joints; on longer parts the gel version comes in useful, as it leaves time for aligning. Before painting, degrease the metal and apply a base intended for metal; without it the shade is easily rubbed off during handling.

Who the accessory suits

  • builders of railway scenes in HO size
  • makers of industrial dioramas and city corners
  • modelers who add details to plastic buildings
  • everyone who wants fine metal rungs in a scene

FAQ

It is an accessory. The set contains photo-etched metal ladders that are added to buildings, tanks or towers; you will not build a standalone model from it.

Yes, HO corresponds to 1:87 scale, so the parts match ordinary railway scenery and cars in this scale in size.

With cyanoacrylate glue. The thin version runs into the joint, the gel one gives more time for aligning the part. Cement for plastic does not hold on metal.

We recommend it. Degrease the bare sheet, spray it with a base for metal and only then apply the shade, otherwise the paint comes away during handling.
