Tramcar Seats

When planning the construction of the model, research and experimentation takes up a large part of the time.

I sought out photos or plans of  the seats that were used in the tram and obtained this document from the National Tramway Museum library.

Here is one of the tram seats made up. This was one of the prototype seats and was painted for the upper saloon.

The lower saloon seats were covered in a moquette  cloth.

I used transfer paper to create the effect of the cloth.

And here are the upper saloon seats that were covered in antique red leather.

You can find more details on their construction on the website.
