I was happy to see Ed Montgomery's posting of EL MU parlor car #3454 early this week - this car is currently being restored by Star
Trak and Whippany Railway Museum volunteers back into its appearance as DL&W 2454. Museum President Steve Hepler forwarded these
progress photos along, with some comments on the chairs:

"The two photos of the chair, show the prototype model after assembly. It has been copied using parts of an original DL&W Club Car
rattan chair as a pattern. The few remaining original 1912-era chairs we have are far too brittle to use, so exact copies are being
manufactured for eventual use in the restored 2454. Shown in the photos, the completed chair is the copy, while the one-piece
section of an arm-rest, legs and back portion are from a
1912 original. The weave pattern is exact to the original."

This car will hopefully be rolling as part of WRyM's various excursion rides in 2016...
