    What did you use for window glass in those? Hand cut acetate? Looks really good, whatever you did there. (y)

    LOL, I discovered something a year ago. I'm never buying clear model plastic sheet again. Go buy yourself a box of donuts and when they are gone cut out the clear window from the box. The stuff is much more N scale glass thickness, and easy to cut with a hobby knife on a hard surface with a ruler. The material is stiff enough in small pieces to work with easily for flat windows yet bendable for curved ones. I cut the inside perimeter of a lighthouse light for my layout and just popped it in easily.

    Conversation with family, "Sorry I have to go out and get donuts", Whispering to self, "So I can use the clear plastic". And who is going to turn down donuts :) Hey Dad, why are the donuts stale, and why is there a hole in the plastic :) Too funny :)
