While collecting photos for a rolling stock project I noticed that many wooden railroad parlor cars had stained glass decorations on their windows. Not having a printer to make elaborate transparencies, I  used clear styrene for the window and dark green acetate for a simple diamond shaped detail.

Liquitex clear gloss acrylic varnish worked really well for gluing the diamonds to the inside of the windows.

A nice little detail that makes the car one of a kind.

My answer to the "I wonder who would notice" is the majority of "the railway modeller fraternity"
Thats there biggest problem they DON'T LOOK at any thing that others have done - Only to brag about there

Barney, you sound as jaded as I became after years in the hobby. Thank goodness those guys don't post here. -- Russ
