Any ideas on making simple yet effective coach interiors?I have quite a few to make and was going to go with the plasticard route,as buying them could get pricey.Hoping someone has stumbled across some random piece of plastic trim that folded this way and cut across here and there makes an effective interior.(fingers crossed).
For corridor coaches I use a vinyl cutter to cut brown vinyl for the corridor divide, complete with windows as needed then stick it onto clear plastic. The corridor dividers can then be done with plastic or card.
The NGS also does seating strip, and there is 3D printed seating available which can be useful, although for a corridor coach quite honestly in most cases you can't see the seats anyway except if lighting is fitted.
You can make the entire seat and corridor wall assembly out of card. Some old kits even used to come with suitable fold up interiors. It's just the corridor divider that's a pain.
See for example http://www.kitmaster.org.uk/ (http://www.kitmaster.org.uk/)
One of the nice things about that today is you can easily draw up interior pieces with a paint program and print them on an inkjet in all the right detailed colours.

Thanks Alan
BHE do a plastic strip of coach seats for non corridor coaches you just cut to the width of the coach .

You can download "print and fold" coach seating (2 colours - red for 3rd class and blue for 1st ) from Bill Bedford's website.
Best regards,

Thanks for the help Gents.Gonna settle down with the latest episode of Last Kingdom,card,steel rule and scalpel.If the interiors don't go well I will have a go at a card shield wall.😁
