lvrr325 OFFLINE Apprentice Posts: 18 Thank you received: 1	Is there a source for the aluminum window frames added to various NM cabooses when they were modernized in the 1970s, or do they need to be scratchbuilt? I was considering redoing an HO Proto caboose I picked up and the paint job would make a good excuse to blank a couple windows and add the frames to them.

yeah that was me that came out with them. I had a custon etchings guy do them for me. They were about $12.00 at that time plus I'd have to come up with enough orders to do a run of 12. So if I could get enough interest drummed up. I'd do another run of them. But I can't sit on them as that's a serious investment taken away from my hobby money.

So is there any one else out there interested in any if I do another run? I'll also have to check my supplier to see what the latest cost would be.
