I just had one come out of a gp35. Obviously need to remove the shell. I used dabs of "goop" in the corners and put it in place with a screwdriver and needle nose pliers.
I use Tester's Clear Parts Cement to install Windows. I am experimenting with the UV cure adhesive, it's benefit is it's a very quick bond, so you don't have to wait for stuff to dry.

John,
I will be adding windows to a PS2 N&W J. Did you have to sand off any of the paint inside the cab to glue the windows in place?

No, you don't have to remove any paint.
You may find this little tool to come in very HANDI.

The UV light glue has been becoming my favorite glue where ever it can be used properly. I like to run a small bead of it under the modern diesel side window shades to give them added holding strength. I have received brand new engines that the shades are broken off from packing and shipping. The only precaution is that it sometime won't harden where the UV light cannot hit it. Like John stated it works great on windows because the light can hit the glue through the clear plastic and also blends in good if any gets out onto the face of the windshield.
The UV glue is not the strongest glue on the planet, but it works well for windows and trim that won't get abused. I recommend doing 8-10 seconds of UV, the 4 seconds isn't always sufficient.
John and Dave,
With your uv expertise, I expect to see you on a dentist blog, maybe a new career, especially using big Jim's cool vacuum device and a dremel tool. 
Dremel tool, one of my favorite bench accessories. 
Give my my set of diamond tipped bits and I'm the dentist's dream!
