This month we’ll look at the seats that will be installed in coach 9. The museum is currently waiting for the seat backs and cushions to be completed. It’s possible that they might be delivered sometime in November. Stay tuned.

The seats began as a series of patterns used for the casting of the parts. One of the seats from coach 3 was used in the development of the patterns.

Once the patterns were completed, they were sent to Cattail Foundry in Pennsylvania to be used in the casting of the parts. The finished castings arrived in 2021 and 2022.

Recently, the seat frames have been painted, assembled and installed in coach 9.

Meanwhile, THANK YOU! We have unlocked the $16,000 matching grant from the Narrow Gauge Preservation Foundation thanks to your support. However we still have a long way to go if we are going to Finish Coach 9 to the Nines! Learn more and donate at www.wwfry.org/coach9
