Good day everyone.
I am trying hard to create a high resolution computer made image of an old German "Plaste und Elaste" neon advertisement (see below).
After thinking a lot, the way to go I have chosen (although I am open to new ones) is creating a three color, six line trail (like a rainbow but with less colors) and molding it to the letters.
When it has to be done to an L, it is a piece of cake, but with curves the job gets hard... so, my question is, does anybody know how to do it with this method, or with a better one?
Thanks in advance fellas!
Brief update: so far this is how it is looking
Final update: thanks to Cai, this is the result:

Create a custom brush in Illustrator.
Draw your lines
Drag the lines to the brushes panel.
Draw your "S" as a single path
Apply your brush
You can either create your brush as an Art Brush or a Pattern Brush. You can define custom corners and ends with a pattern brush which may be useful to you, or you can use an art brush which will stretch the entire of the brush over the path.
