Does it show up on the parts diagram? The manual says there are steam connectors that have to be added to the car. These would represent the Barco steam lines that allowed the steam supply to pass from car-to-car.

My guess on the spare windows is that they may become fogged after being exposed to the smoke fluid after a while and the spares can be used if that happens.

Sometimes Jason pokes his head in here, maybe he will let us know. The Rapido guys are pretty helpful, perhaps send an email off to them?

Good Luck, Ed
