One of my first O-scale mods was changing a MTH caboose into one that looked like a class of Seaboard cabs. I had to make new sides out of styrene and cut the windows.
I was looking at it the other day and it just didn't look right, I realized i had forgotten to give the windows any kind of frame on the outside, they were nothing more than holes cut out on the sides. It took me about 2 hours to cut small bits of scale 1/2"x2" styrene and glue them on. Took a little more time to repaint.
Then I noticed in my books that this class of cabs had screen windows on the outside.
Anybody run across material that looks appropriate for window screening? They would need a thin frame around the edge to give the appearance like the real thing.
I was thinking of printing a "screen" pattern on some clear decal paper or even clear labels and applying them to the cab.
