I have noticed the new 2001 Mars set 7313. This set 7313 appears to have a new
"glass" curved and tapered piece. I am very curious how that might work for a
"high speed" train locomotive cab window. To keep bricks close to the tapered
sides, one might be able to angle the front sloping side walls of the front of
the locomotive in a way similar to the hinged tapered nose on my Acela. Dunno.
Will be interesting to see this piece when it is available.
