Twisted staircase handrail

Hello, I’m trying to model a heritage staircase made of cast iron and timber handrail, the existing geometry of the handrail twists at each turning with a specific profile. I’m having difficulty modeling this, has anyone got any good tips and advice to how to model this please?

That’s a classic problem people keep running into. You could try Eneroth’s Upright Extruder:
