Hey, it's 2017 and we have none of these, right?

JNJ use to make them.Maybe there are some FUD versions out there.
There are several prototypes.

Do you mean All Weather Windows? Gold Medal Models has the 160-61 fret with 6 different types of AWW. I've used them on several locomotives.

They really need to update their offerings to at least include 2nd generation models!

Yeah, those have copyright of 2002 (15 years ago). Time sure flies!  Come to think of it, it seems that Gold Metal Models hasn't come out with any new photoetched model RR items for quite some time now.   Maybe @Loren Perry will listen to your request and come out with a fret for the newer locos.

Thanks guys, I have the GMM cabs and some JNJ as well, and they cover some bases, but time marches on. :D

How about some "glazing" too!  ;)

MLE made some really nice 3-pane ones. It doesn't look like they're still in business, but you could keep an eye out for them.

Stony Smith Designs and David Cutting have some windows on Shapeways, they do look fuzzy though.

https://www.shapeways.com/product/G3VCQ4JKP/dmir-all-weather-windows-nscale?optionId=41452835

I need one window for an SD9, anyone want to split a GMM fret? I'll pay a portion, just have no need for the whole thing.

Need another type? I can get them printed with the new CLIP printers at sculpteo if anyone is interested. Those prints are basically injection mold quality.

This is potentially promising. :D Just need to ID a specific version to see how it comes out.

I did this 3 pane one using FXD recently, but it's a bit fragile.

A part of me was thinking about the four window cabs that were cut out on old SWs... I could definitely use that as etchings.  :D

Wow, that sculpteo print looks great.

I'd also be curious to see if Sandro Schaer might do them, since he does those gorgeous Sinclair antennas already.
