Seat Master

In the end I decided to sort out the interior for the new carriage rather than tackle the stuff under the floor.

And as I have a feeling that there will be more of these design of WHR carriages rolling out of Boston Lodge in the years ahead I've decided to cast the seats this time so I can easily them out as required in future.


I used the same tactic with the FR superbarns last year when I had to make a big batch of the carriages.

However I couldn't use the same master for this one because the WHR carriage seats are slightly bigger and with a simpler seat back design as you can see above.

The way the design of this casting works is to have the table tops cast separately and then glued onto a base which doubles as a spacer to help me position each seat / table combo in place in the carriage.

  1. Would it be possible for you to produce these seat castings for customers such as myself who are building their own carriages as other than scratch building i have not found anything that would be suitable
