For Bach-mann, glass in passenger cars

[Maine 2 Foot]

Does the glass in the roof windows on the big hauler passenger cars come in a clear version? I would like to have mine be transparent and not colored...

Thanks

Vince

Hi Vince:

I have 20 passenger set on display and some early kits. All the roof windows are either a light rose, amber, or green, no clear.

Bachmann, are the green ones available? They are the least obtrusive.....

Dear 2 Foot,
Doubtful, but a thin coat of Krylon jade green will give a good effect.
Have fun!

Better yet, if you want to change the clerestory windows, either the light rose or amber to green use Testors Transparent Green Spray Enamel.
It comes in a small spray can (3 oz.) part number 1256.

I've changed the clerestory windows on over 20 J&S coaches to green using this translucent enamel. Give both sides a light spary of the paint. You can make it darker green by using additional coats.  With this paint, light will still show through.  You'd think the windows were green to start with.



This picture isn't too clear, but I think you can make out that the windows are green.  These windows started out the light rose color.
