Actually, what we need is some (1-4) Adlake double glazed window modules for UP 5340. We only need these temporarily (as such projects can be) in order to swap out the existing modules for cleaning, repair, etc.

Because 5340 is currently in revenue service (38 trains of the Polar Express scheduled between Thanksgiving and Christmas) the board of directors frowns on us just wedging some cardboard or plywood in place of the modules while the work is being done.

5340 is an ACF chair car circa 1938. The outside dimensions of the modules are 32 1/2" wide x 27" high x 1 3/8" thick.

CMO says we can't buy them, but we can trade for them (what do you need, that we might have?), or if they can be loaned, we will pay shipping both ways.

If you can help or have leads, please email me.

p.s. yes, I am aware of the modules mentioned in a previous thread by David Woodbury and in contacting him have discovered his to be too narrow for our purposes--thanks again though, Dave!!
