Mike if I understand you correctly, this is what we called a cab extension window?? If so, River Raisin included them in the extra parts for the SD-7/9 maybe others too.? In an earlier era, one of our true brass craftsman? guys built one for me to fit the Milwaukee Alco Road switchers.? I asked for one that the Milwaukee cobbled together.? After seeing a couple of photos, he didn't say anything till a later meeting, he showed it to me.? Wonderful craftsmanship.? He cut it from a single piece of sheet brass then folded, soldered it together.? Only one problem, was he made it fit the cab window if it was being used on the opposite side or short hood forward--(two panes vs three).? So I've carried it in my parts stash for 25 years.?
His name was Fred Little a former tool designer of sorts for Howard Hughes, but mainly an 0 guy but I guess he liked our people better!? He also created masters for the Franklin Mint's collection of classic cars,? our local S pewter detail parts plus he and his son originated the Black/Decker Workmate bench. ?

Does anyone make a all weather cab window in S? Or do I need to make my own?
