What company makes replacement windows (specifically) side windows for emd Geeps. I've broken some while removing them during the paint stripping process and am looking for replacements!

Take a look a American Model Builders Laserkits. Not knowing what GP your looking for they may have them. Very nice replacements!

What company makes replacement windows (specifically) side windows for emd Geeps. I've broken some while removing them during the paint stripping process and am looking for replacements! 1) What scale? 2) Who made the model? 3) What type of locomotive is it (GP7, GP40, GP60, etc)? |

I've done AMB before for some kits but they dont all fit as nice as you'd think. I recall a few years back having a set of windows for a Dash 8 that didnt even come close to fitting right. I always keep Microsol Krystal Klear just in case.

I have used the AMB kits for the Proto GP30, all mine were newer first run Southern decorated units. I don't know about the older runs.

I will give AMB a try. It's an older proto that I've just gotten around to. Thanks for all the advice

If you can't find anything, Glue a piece of clear plastic behind the window frame and then fill it with Micro Krystal Klear.
One tip, thin the Krystal Klear with water and build it up in layers. Let each layer dry thoroughly before adding the next one. Also, the surface you are filling in should be parallel to your workbench so it doesn't sag while drying.
