Jan,

Thanks Alan for the help with my photos, I think I understand now how to upload. Kind regards David

Hi VetChugger, thanks for your comment re the seating, this is comfortable for sure. It is my own fabrication and design the inspiration was old memories of trains in the 1960. With their high backs and arm rests. It also has a rake adjustment and shortly will be fitting with pop up leg rests sourced from old reclining arm chairs. Left and right seats only finished in the same fabric. The train carrage I think about was The Orient Express. I would point out that this still converts to a double bed with extra length because of the extension into side space in the hull. I joke with a friend that it's a rest area for kings in waiting. The foam is number 16 high densitie purchased in Germany. Kind regards David
