Reply to "Looking for SW8/9/1200 windows"

Roo,

I would love to see more O scale diesel detail parts.  The hobby for me has always been more about building models vs buying them, but I fully understand the time and resource balancing that finishing even a small layout requires!  Add to that, you have done an amazing job of building your layout more than once!  I retire in a few months...maybe I should learn how to reproduce detail parts like all the garage based manufactures used to do in HO back in the 80s and 90s!  I wouldn't hold your breath!

Dave,

Thanks for your observations with the windows.  I'll be looking closely; if they don't work out, maybe they will lead me to the next answer.  Anything will be better than the poor factory bubble windows.  In my opinion, all the hard work that was put into designing the cab was virtually wasted by the half-a***d windows.  There used to be a saying frequently spoken at prototype modeling meets; "It ultimately costs less to do it right the first time!".  I know that the guys behind Chooch have a long reputation for innovation and precision in O scale, at least on a personal level.  I also know that being a manufacture at the same level is exponentially harder!  Most of the failures are outside of the span of control of the guy fronting the business.  Luck for me, I like the struggle and triumph building my models!
