You are correct.  Maybe a train bucket, but not a pack. We're better off
agitating for a pack than a bucket as I think the run can be lower.

So let's get down to 2 colors.  Or even 1. Me, I like blue. We haven't
HAD a lot of blue in a long time. Blue and grey. There are good sources
of black windows doors and airplane windows already (although not the
narrow train windows)

Fourthly, I forgot about STICKERS! I want some stickers to make windows
frosted, and I want some striping stickers that are the correct length
for the doors in wide and narrow stripes so I can make a red/white/blue
door if I want to, and so forth.

Larry, I think you are starting to fall victim to losing focus here.

Yes. Never mind. Withdraw the question. Your witness.

A final note:  I found a piece I would LOVE to have more of and it would look
great on a train (from a freestyle perspective - I am NOT a train buff) and it
is a 1x4x4 window with a corrugated snap cover.  I could not find a part
number for it but it is on the right side of the 5571 Big Rig Truck just below
the red train window.  I think it could be a great cover for a luggage
compartment.

Yes, these do make good hatches/machinery covers and the like. But I
prefer them for vents rather than doors. US prototype doesn't use these
sort of doors much.

(You do realize that if you reply that you have too many of
them, I will ask you for some, Larry...)

You can never have too many of an obscure windowish part. So although I
have a few (10??), I don't have enough to where I would part with any.

Nice try, though.
