    I have the GMM and have used nearly all the windows between my BN fleet and pool power. Any future purchases would probably be JnJ since I am almost done with my fleet.

    For class I used MicroScale Kristal Kleer. Works just fine.

    I grew wearing of waiting ... so I ordered 10 of the JNJ angled all weather cab windows:

    Now to wait & see if the LHS can actually get them.

    Well, I'll check into clear resin as well. It would be an interesting part to make.

    It took me a while, but I finally checked out the possibility of running a batch of these parts and found the following:

    The mold I used for these parts looks to be OK. I've noted that the resin used does not attack the rubber like normal resins, so everything is pretty well preserved. Upon checking the resin, I found that it was rock hard. I have ordered more and should have it in just a few days.

    Once the resin is back in, I will do a few test runs to see how things go. If things work out as they should, we'll be set for a special run.

    I'll keep everyone posted here... Thanks for being patient guys!

    Save it for the LA Ninjas, Craig. Fire it out of a slingshot..

    Cool! My tiny, carefully hoarded stash of Loco-Motives AWW, is insufficient for my intended fleet....

    :D

    I bought some clear resin the other day. Still playing with it to find the right mix, but clear equipment sheds are cool...
