Hi,

Lettering & numbering for which era - as they are currently, or for some previous period?

Thanks,

Evening chaps

Currently have managed to get into one of my coaches - the rigid plasticard and epoxy construction does little for user-friendly maintenance :lol:

[carefully, I might add!]

I'm totaly reglazing the coach as most of its paper-thin glass was falling off. I've acquired 1.5mm thick clearplastic for stronger properties, it works well.

Now while I have this coach open....I'd like to use her as a guinea pig for furnishing and tarting up. :twisted:

I'm thinking of adding upholstry to the seats [longitudinal, end to end - think the Corris coaches!] and maybe carpet. Any ideas what cloth or where I can get suitable material?

Cheers

As your not requiring depth or comfort I would suggest you wander round the local market material stall and buy offcuts of anything that looks right.

You can buy self adhesive velvet from craft shop or doll house shop.
Hope that helps.
