I've built a window exactly as you describe. Pics at
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=9523

The inverse arch is held from sliding back into the building by protruding
pieces behind it, but it can (and does) fall out the front.

(...) noticed the shed and locomotive (wow!) but I can't figure out what is going in the "sheddetail1.jpg" image showing a round window. I've built round windows using those inverse half-arches, but these are all a lot bigger than the one you show. (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.arch)
