Does anyone have a source for interior layouts for Harriman passenger cars? I have a few that I want to put interiors in. As usual, any assistance that can provided would be most welcomed.
Perhaps here?

Good Luck, Ed
Ed, thanks that’s a great site!Also if you are interested take a look at the Shapeways interiors. I use the 72’ Athearn passenger cars and there are quite a few available on Shapeways, a bit pricy but very nice. If nothing else looking at the 3D view of the interiors might give you some ideas in scratch building them.

I will have to do some more research with the cars directly in front of me. However, I think that should be what I need. I will just have to figure out how I want to configure the interiors as there are a few possibilities.
I like to use the RIX coach seats in HO. They're detailed enough that after painting they look pretty decent.

You get six "sticks" in each package.
The IHC interiors are pretty nice. I bought a three pack off eBay at a very good price, chopped them up and made molds of the seats and interior parts for making casting for my interiors.The IHC seats are very good, so good I don’t have to chop the legs of the passengers.I bought 1:87 chairs from Shapeways for one of my diners.
Lots of options out there.Mel My Model Railroad http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/ Bakersfield, California I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Ed,
I looked at those diagrams with my cars in front of me and none of them matched up. I wonder if the cars I have are foobies that are trying to mascarade as Harriman cars. They are Roundhouse cars with the truck mounted couplers. I'm thinking that I may have to improvise up some ideas to fit what I have.
I solved the interior problem with a simple eBay search. A search found resin interiors designed to fit the cars I have. Slightly pricey but well worth it in the lack of headaches of having to do it myself.

If they are the ones I am thinking of, they are 3D printed. There is an eBay seller that prints interiors for many common passenger car models.
I should have read this thread sooner, I would have suggested that. I usually don't think I will have answers for threads in the "prototype information" section.

Congrats, you did the smart thing.
How about posting some pics when you are finished?

Thanks to 3-D printing, it's pretty easy to find inexpensive pre-made interiors for most HO passenger cars:

Small problem with that. I no longer have a good way to post pics here. The way I was using is no longer available.
