I am pulling out my post-war heavyweights and all of the window strips have shrunk and cracked. I just spent a few minutes looking online for replacements and have gotten frustrated. Does anyone have a good source for these or a part number? I have a 'Lionel 2625-24' but that one has silhouettes I think. I was hoping to find the original frosted ones

I don't have exactly this car, but from the big online site I bought "Rigid Plastic Sheet Clear Polycarbonate Sheet Shatter Resistant Plastic Sheets for DIY Crafts Document Picture Frames (14 x 11 x 0.02 Inches", and used a good, really good pair of scissors to cut them to fit.  The 0.02" thickness is perfect, for me anyway.  I then used double sided tape to hold the ends in place.

I have gone to Hobby lobby, purchased Velum paper and printed my own silhouettes and cemented in place.
