And lest we forget, the Train "only" windows from 1980-83....
Black 1x2x2 town windows only found in train sets #7727 (2), #7730 (2), #7750
(2), and #7810 (4).
Gray 1x2x2 town windows only found in train set #7740 (10!). Although these
were only found in the old gray, these could be produced in new gray!
And 1x2x2 town window for trains in any other popular color such as green, tan,
brown, yellow or blue (these last 2 colors haven't been produced in nearly 8
years!).
Not only would you make train folks happy, but you would make town folks happy
as well.
