Over the course of a few evening sessions I have been able to complete the interior for the Worsley body for 15.
Unlike the styrene carriages where I attach the seating to the floor and it becomes a part for the chassis, on this one I have left it removable, which will certainly make it easier for Himself when he comes to paint it.
In its current condition this carriage is a tri-composite and so the two compartments with comfy looking seats towards the centre are, in fact, a first class and a second class.
(The upholstery in the First comes up slightly higher than the other if you look closely.)
The biggest challenge with compartment stock is with the dividers between them.
They have to be placed very accurately because the window pillars are very thin on this model, and you also want to ensure, as much as you can, that they remain vertical.
This is why I've chosen to use relatively thick 30" sheet and anchored them at the bottom with some chunky square section before I attached the seat bases on either side.
As always, the only true test will be time.
