Well, then you get into the sticky part - "what are they really worth".  I would
HOPE that black/white/red/blue train window frames get pretty cheap in May,
considering there are 7 in a $22 set, I just can't see any sane person valuing them
above $2-2.50 each.  But any other color?  That's a different ball o' wax (or ABS).

I can't wait until May, I'll have enough windows for my 5 car black Metroliner the
first time I find the vans for sale.

(...) Tom Stangl, Does that mean I am now inline for the swap? I think I actually have 50 or so black train windows right now. Tom McDonald, Would you rather have all one color of window? I would be glad to swap you some black ones for your yellow. (...) (27 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
