Steam cab windows
Posted by tatans on Saturday, May 29, 2004 10:25 PM
Is it possible to get windows for h o steam (brass) loco cabs? I would imagine they would be pressed brass sheets. I saw for sale something called Mellor windows but I think they are gone. any help out there? Keith

Keith;

Many years ago Mellor offered assorted accessories for steam locomotives, untortunately, his family did not appreciate his hobby business, and scrapped everything on his death.

He offered window frames, not windows.

Stamped brass windows would be a bit hard to see through.

For detail parts see Walthers and Bowser.

Window frames, not windows, don't windows mean window frames and window glass (windows??) and Stamped brass meaning flat sheets of brass with the glass (open) area cut out and only window frames remaining as I believe they are made, Walthers & Bowser do not have steam cab windows only diesel and house windows and almost all of additional add-on brass details are non -existant even though still listed in their catalogues as most U.S. technology has gone to Asia---thanks
