Diplomatic Service

Once again I'm being called up for commercial casting duties.

A regular customer is looking for an easy way to improve the interiors of his fleet of modern (I use the word advisedly) FR carriages and has decided the best way would be to get me to design and cast some seat and table units as I've done for the Superbarns and WHR carriages.

The carriages in question are the 'tin cars' and the Carnforth cars which from the early 90s onwards were fitted with what I always regarded as very elegant 'Diplomat' seats.

These were a great improvement visually on the bus seats installed in the carriages from their construction in the late 70s and through the 80s.

I miss the tin cars.
