I am looking for a source, if any, of HO scale seats for the Reading's locomotive pulled commuter cars. These were the two person, bench style that had the back rest that could be pulled over the bench to reverse the direction of the seat. Many, many moons ago there was a nice cast metal kit (WKW, Suydam...?) of these seats, but it is long out of production. Thank you, Evan Leisey

Thanks John. The split cushion Pikestuff seats work very well for the 1948 semi-streamlined cars. What I am after is the two person seat with a single bench cushion and a single backrest cushion. Red Cap split coach seats and body putty would yield a nice facsimile, but that is a lot of putty and sanding work to equip a fleet of coaches. Should have gone with mail trains, a dozen express/mail cars and one to coach. LOL! Am considering getting a bid from a commercial resin caster for them.

The Reading is devastated by Hurricane Agnes; washouts and damage across the system require significant effort to repair, and also hasten the abandonment of marginal branches.
