I've got a few Lionel 18" heavyweight cars that could use interiors. They just have the silhouettes.

I am leaning towards finding who has the injection molded tooling for individual seats and seeing what the per piece price would be at different thresholds and reporting back on that. then its creating floor plates for each model and then you can paint and customize them however you want. this will allow for bathrooms, and other walled off areas etc.
Ok its been a while and I have not had a lot of time to work on this but recently I have started to purchase various scrapped interiors from various manufacturers so that I can experiment with the modular system railride described on the previous pages. The last set I got actually were the gold interiors out of an older MTH premier set. The seats are very plain without much detail but would be better than the sillouettes. I actually have 4 of each of the interiors (4 coach and I believe 4 pullman sleeper) so I am goin to take the dremel to one of each to start with. Please post what you would like to see in an EASY to replicate interior detail, and I will experiment. Amazing how the seats have really no detail but there are 3 different bathrooms and they have a nice amount of detail. I guess someone at MTH really gave a s**t about these details 
I would like to see interiors for Scale heavyweights and 72' streamliners.
Yes, I am interested but it all comes down to cost, if they are cheaper than buying second hand coaches with interiors I`m in.

Mike thanks for keeping this project alive. Whatever you come up with will greatly appreciated.
3rdrailmike-----Why not simply make individual seats? We could buy as many as needed and glue them to floor strips. We could also customize the seats at will. Odd-d
Mike,
I too would be interested as long as the seats could be positioned so they line up with the windows of any length of car. Perhaps something as simple as two channels on each styrene floor and seats that have an inverted "T" molded to their undersides which could be slipped into the channel from either end on the floor, aligned where you wanted them and then a drop of glue to secure the seat in the channel. However you do it - I'm in...
Best,
Dave
Mike....sent you some info. I think it's a great idea......
Great Idea, keep us posted!
