The reason I asked was that I made some of the USA seats from resin for my Santa Fe business car. Upon further review, I didn't make the seats you requested unfortunately. You can see the seats I cast in white compared with the USA seats in blue. I think they are too small for what you are looking for.

Hi, and thanks for the reponse...USA trains told me that you can't buy them as they don't offer them for sale or as replacement parts.  So...there was was no discussion on pricing. You said you may have something that may work. How can I get more info? Thanks again,  Ralph M.

How much did USA want for the seats if they had them in stock? I may have something that would work.

 I made mine from wood moldings also, or you could mold the seats you have and cast your own. If you do, I may be interested in some!

I don't know what they look like BUT, take one to Home Depot or Loews and check out there wood moldings you may need two type's seat/support glued.. ...make them, would be alot less costly.

Replacement seats for LGB Amfleet Cars.
Posted by SP Ralph on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 5:05 PM

 I recently perchased a whole fleet of LGB Amfleet passenger cars and place 1/32 scale figures in the dinner and all went well...Then came the passenger cars...Well found that the chairs in those cars are made for a single 1/22.5 scale figure.  I have the USA SP Modern passenger cars and had a couple of thier two passenger seats as extras left over and they look good.  I called Charles Ro and company and told me that the don't sell the chairs for their modern passenger cars, I would be looking for about 88 seats. So would anyone have a suggestions other than to scratch build them? This seats have a USA part # of 1405-12-06 underneath each seat.

 Thanks for the help.
