For those of you who have experience restoring outbuildings important to rail travel or historic sites, what resources are available for replicating old industrial style, metal framed and glazed panel windows? Assume that originals are available to copy but mostly too far gone to reuse.
Thanks

You can get salvaged windows or you can get new ones. Hope's makes new steel windows to order:

Don't discount the ability to repair old steel windows. If they are actually iron, you can weld in new material with a mig setup and a suitable wire alloy easily.
