All Weather windows?

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I’m going to be modeling a few Wisconsin and Southern railroad GP38’s soon, and I’m looking for a specific detail part. The WSOR’s GP’s have 3 paned all-weather windows. Now, All I’ve been able to find of a detail part are two windows. Does anyone know of a three paned one? Or will have to kitbash one out of two, two paned ones? To see a prototype picture of what I’m talking about, see here:

I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Noah –

Overland makes one in brass as their part #9711.

the easiest way would be to kitbash one from two-use detail associates plastic ones. cut the end off of one and the other one in half and glue together with plastic cement.

Fiverings, thanks, I’ll check that out.

Schmo, That was my thought, but I wasn’t sure if something else was already out there, and wanted to make sure.

Thanks to both for your help,
Noah

If you don’t use the Overland brass, start with a Detail Assoc cut out the mulled center frame and add the two frame pieces to simulate the 3 windows. Cutting and splicing 2 units won’t give you equidistant separations for the look you want.
