Dear All

At a model railway show today, I came across a display of both home  
and industrial windows etched in brass. The windows are claimed to be  
sized to 4mm/ft (1/76 - British OO Scale).

The windows are from a company called GT Buildings, who have a website:

http://www.gtbuildingsmodels.co.uk/index.html

If you go the Etches pages, then there are listings of windows (with  
actual sizes), along with some pages of 'photos' of the windows.

I bought the No 91 windows. The window has the lower half etched  
deeper to represent a two part window. The rear of the etch is flat,  
so one piece of clear material could cover all the panes.

I note from the GT Buildings webpage that they do mail order, but  
after receiving a cheque. I bought my item from Freestone Model  
Accessories at the show. Their website is:

http://www.freestonemodel.co.uk/index.htm

Though the website hasn't been completed, their paper price list says  
they do mail order, including payments by credit card. They didn't  
claim to have all the etches in stock, but if available, they can get  
them.

I suspect with both companies you are best advised to contact them by  
email first.

Of course if you are going to the Abingdon Model Railway show next  
Saturday, then you can get some windows from Freestone without the  
fuss of postage, etc.

The S scale content of this message is that I think many windows might  
be suitable for American S scale. Of course I could be wrong and  
accept Bill Lane may put me on moderated status.
