The bench IS a D&RG bench. Well the cast iron parts anyway. We also have enough parts to make two more bench's. Also D&RG castings
I think the wood is cut to the right size. Because of the curvature, and mounting holes in the castings being so close together, I don't think the wood slats could be made any wider.
Perhaps someone else knows how far apart the arm railings should be.

The depot was a Pacific electric depot. I was told from HANSON. Today that's on the corner of Ball rd, and Knott ave.

Ryan when did you take those pics?
