I do the same thing as Wild Mary. In fact I bought a 8 1/2 by 11 pad of the translucent sheets and use them for many applications. But when you are replacing the material in your Madison car, you will probably want to replace all four pieces in each car as the new material does not have that yellowed appearance of the original, so will look much different.
You can also do the same thing if you have missing window material in the original 2400 series passenger cars - before they went to passengers in the windows.
