Bill:

Thanks you so much for the diagram and renderings. That’s a huge help.

Cole:

I really was planning on doing just one and was only going to cast a two-porthole part to inset into the side of the shell to replace each of the windows, after removing the post from each pair of square windows and removing the gasket. Hopefully that will cost significantly less than you suggested.

Sorry for not having signed. I’m new to both the MPHS and the forum. Both of my grandfathers were MP employees in NLR; one an intermittently employed machinist and the other a switchman, first in the NLR yard and later, as his age and seniority commended, at the less busy LR passenger depot.
