ColinB Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I know these are a bit old now, I must admit I didn't even know I had them until I was searching for coaches for my new Caledonian loco. I remember Hornby didn't fit seats to these carriages, but does anyone know if it was possible to get seats from a third party supplier, that you could add to them?

Going Spare Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Have a look at Ratio pack 433 (via Peco). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Thanks Going Spare, they look good enough. I will use plasticard to make the compartment dividers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVR1707822112 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 You could try looking at Peter's Spares for something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VESPA Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Colin, as they are inside old coaches would these Kitmaster interiors be of any use?http://www.kitmaster.org.uk/PecoCoachInt.htmThey are a bit basic, I know but will anyone be scrutinising them so closely. Moreover they are Free with just a printer, some card and glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinfold Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 As the R384 and R385 are the same as the newer GWR R4913 and R4914 have you tried these although they are a bit expensive. https://www.shapeways.com/product/6RNGUUUWF/interior-for-hornby-short-clerestory-brake-r4914 And https://www.shapeways.com/product/WUZ5WVF2J/interior-for-hornby-short-clerestory-coach-r4913 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81F Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I 3D printed my own using Shapeways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 In the end I bought a couple of packs of ParkSide Models Coach Seating packs and some plasticard I had left over from A4 conversions, and made my own. They came out quite well, I am just about to add passengers. So I assume 81F you designed your own on CAD and got Shapeways to print them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81F Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 For info PECO have bought out both Parkside and Ratio so the plastic seating units from either are probably the same thing.btw thanks Slinfold, the links you have posted are the ones I used/developed.

ColinB Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 After fitting one of my carriages with a home made units. I realised that I have 5 coaches that I want to use with my new Rails class 812 so a ready made item was a quicker and much better option. I contacted a guy on EBay that 3D prints seating units for old Triang coaches and he printed me some inserts that are tons better and cost virtually the same as the "home made units". So if anyone is interested in getting seating for these carriages, the same guy is now selling them on EBay. I have financial interest in this product, I just thought that they were incredibly useful. I now have a rake of coaches that are cheaper than their modern day equivalents and are the right colour to go with the loco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 Sorry, last post should say I have no financial interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
