RE: [CBQ] All Weather Windows on SDs - Update on Overland Parts

[Rick Keil <rkeil6721@hotmail.com>]

All

I received my Overland brass all weather windows from Greenway (they have the remaining stock of many of their parts).  Upon examination, even though a "pair" was shipped, they are exactly the same, not a mirror image for a right and left side, they appear to be for the right side of the cab .  I called Al at Greenway and he checked his stock and confirmed they are all the same.  If you look at prototype pictures, the window to the rear of the cab appears larger, I think it is because it is fixed while the other two, in-line with the original window, either slide or are hinged.

I'm ordering two sets from MLE as they look to contain an extra left side window so I will combine at least one with the Overland part to create a complete set

It really is the shame as the Overland part looks very nice and requires no bending!
