Larry, You are indeed correct!
I can't imagine anyone wanting to sell those 10 grey windows. They are a
part of that Intercity Train set. Since Paul is new to the group, we
certainly don't want to take advantage of that fact (unless he was well
compensated). But I'll bet that they would certainly command a premium on
Auczilla or eBay, especially if you Lego Train folks are involved.
And besides, there's not much else to do with those grey windows (besides
train use), since there are so few other grey windows available (mostly
1x4x5 and 1x4x6 - 3 pane). I'm not sure, but were there ever any grey doors
made? Definetely not the 1x2x3 nor the 1x3x4 doors.
But us old time Town folks have always "cast a covetous glance" at some of
the Lego pieces that are unique to the Train system, such as the small grey,
black and yellow windows from the 1970's and 1980's Train sets.
