Came across these at Shapeways:
Little pricey at 12/$75 but a definite must have for the layout of anyone who's York bound !

Those are really neat! They'd look pretty good on a beach or pool scene.
If only they sold them by the piece like they appear to for a lot of their other furniture. A few of them would fit on my layout, but not a dozen.

Good one, Jerry.
Keith, unlikely one would see teak deck chairs outside their natural habitat of an ocean liner.

I know that, but they're small enough that no one would be able to tell the difference.
Also, an o-scale ocean liner would be much too large to look right on an any size layout. These chairs were apparently made for to model those on the Titanic. In o-scale, the Titanic would have to be about 18'5''. No one I can think of has that much money, time, or room even for the ship itself.
Yes, Keith, I would agree. A 1/48 scale Titanic would be very large and costly. However, as you may know, it has been done by Fine Arts Models:
Model
The model is over 18 feet long.
The hull is a fiberglass form plated and riveted with brass plating, per the original plans,
using more than 3,376,000 rivets, composed of three (3) different styles.
Every bulkhead is in its proper location.
The entire superstructure is constructed of brass.
The model weighs 1,500 pounds.
The decking is real wood, as is the deck furniture, which is crafted to exact proportions.
All exterior windowed rooms are to scale, including the furniture and décor inside each room.
The telegraph in the Bridge is internally lit.
Its lighting is so complex that it required the installation of more than 8 miles of fiber optic cable.
Wood Display Case
The wood case took two (2) craftsman two (2) years to build.
The case was hand-carved, based on the original turn-of-the-century design used by
Harland & Wolff for all builder’s model cases.
Each side holds a single piece of glass, to not obstruct the viewing of the model.
The glass was made in England, the only place that could make glass this size.
Each (long) side of glass weighs 1,000 pounds.
Overall measurements of the Titanic in it’s case: 22’ long, 52” wide and 9’ high. Estimated weight is 5,500 lbs.
Anyone with 2,500,000.00 burning a hole can have one.
Definitely an accent piece and conversation-starter, and not a precursor to building an O scale Titanic, maybe? Ya never know......
Thanks Johnny; I haven't heard that expression in years. "Well, we're just re-arranging deckchairs on the Titanic here, aren't we?"

Just as long as it's not located next to the ice machine.

I'm here all week. Try the veal.
And be sure to tip your waitress!

I may buy a set of these since where I work operates as if they are constantly rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Very funny, Jerry. I enjoyed this immensely.

Where I work is always doing the same thing. This time, they threw my chair overboard, but at least they threw a sack of money with it! In other words, early retirement. I have become fond of Adirondack chairs, but I think these could do just fine.

I just wish I had found them earlier during the "debate"!
