Google 1/700 PE for the class of ship. Tom's Model Works, Gold Metal and Eduard are the best although I really like Eduard's instructions. Tom's needs a little work. When you Google it you can see where to get them.

Another course is go to the Tom's, Gold Metal and Eduard websites.

Or you can get generic railings.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

If you have the Renwal Shangri La, it's on 1/500 scale.

Most modelers use the Gold Medal Models Essex Midway Forrestal set for the Revell kits which are 1/540, but it's close enough and has all the stuff you need.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

I have always been satisified with Tom's Model Works.  They do have generic railing sets- you don't need a set for a specific ship if you mainly want the railings.
