The accompanying figures show a few of the sections of mouldings commonly used in railway carriages, but very many others are employed, especially on saloon interiors. Fig. 1 shows a coach round, Fig. 2 scotia, Fig. 3 coach bead, Fig. 4 ogee. Fig. 5 ovolo, Figs. 6 to 11 combinations of rounds, fillets, and hollows. The round shown by Fig. 1 is used on outside mouldings; Fig. 6 shows an outside cornice moulding where the roof boards overhang the side; Fig. 10 a cornice moulding to use over the cloth when the roof boards are cleaned off flush with the side; Fig. 9 shows an inside cornice moulding, and Figs. 7 and 8 are for inside doors and panelling. It will be noticed that the bead "(Fig. 3) differs from that usually used in joinery in having a V quirk.
