How about this:

It doesn't deal well with sharp kinks in the base curve, you may have to detect those and automatically split the rail at those kinks.

I also imagine you'd like better control over the thickness at each angle. I recommend not using a slider or equation or graph mapper for that, but to draw a curve in Rhino which acts as a angle -> thickness map.
