 | | Do these LEGO Windows exist??? —Gary Istok
|
| | | I probably should rephrase the subject heading to read: "Were these windows ever in a LEGO set?" The ones I am talking about are the classic windows 1x3x2 in WHITE without the window sill at the bottom that sticks out (if they were sold, they would (...)

I always can count on either Kurt or Phil (Traviss of UK). If they don't have it, (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

| | | | (...) I decided to have a looksee at my windows. All of my white 1x3x2s are the old style. It looks to me like the little holes are for tabs on the "glass" to insert into - in fact I'm sure of it, just looked at a 1x6x2 window with shutters which (...)

| | | | | Not that I have tried, but would the glass inserts from the sloped windows work? I think they were like a 1x4x3, but they loped back a few studs, which would give them a longer opening, resulting in a taller piece of glass for the insert. Mike (...)

| | | | (...) Frank, With the 1x6x2 shuttered windows, I have a few questions. Do your CA windows (type1) actually have a 6x2 (LxH) glass panel? Or do your CA windows have a 4x2 glass panel? And with your type 3 windows (the ones without the protruding (...) (24 years ago, 18-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

Until I looked the other day, I had assumed all the 1x6x2 shuttered windows took a 2x6 glass (I think I had moved a piece of glass between a 1x6x2 shuttered window (...)
