All of 'em....I think they look unfinished without "glass". I usually use the glazing which comes with a kit, but for scratchbuilding, I'll use window material left over from other kits, or Evergreen clear styrene.

The Dunnville station was scratchbuilt....

.....but the windows and glazing and most of the doors were left-overs from P&M Languay Ltd., made from two Walthers Waterfront Warehouse kits. Those kits came with two full sets of windows, and even though the two structures are separated by only a sidestreet, I don't think that the heritage of the station's windows is all that noticeable:

Yes, all of them. Either with the material that comes with the kit or larger sheets of transparent styrene from the local hobby store.

Industries no simply because I'm looking at the backside where the rail docks,warehouse and production area is and there's no windows..Summerset/SCR general office and the smaller crew building yes.

All of em'. If you don't it costs too much to heat and cool your little people! Icon_lol

That settles it , I can't afford extra costs for heating/ air conditioning , so I'd better get the glass man to do his thing !

Yes, always. People seemed to always notice when I didn't.

I always save the clear bubble packing material, just the flat pieces.
