I've posted a picture of an alternate window styling for the Cargo Sprinter cab
window.  Photo shows side-by-side comparison of "old" and "new" stylings.

Care to express an opinion as to which you like better?

I like the "new" styling for two reasons:
1) uses a much more common piece assortment
2) the red low slopes either side of the front window approximate the real-life
cab window frame structure- all be it the LEGO brick version is too "thick".

Thanks for looking.

(...) I agree with Larry. I kinda like the 6-wide window better. I wonder if an eight wide car with the six wide window and the 1x3x1 red slopes would look even better? With a six wide car I like the six wide window. Chris (24 years ago, 28-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
