I have tried and failed to show with the photo below that you can actually see through them and out each end of the ducket. I used some 1mm perpex which I cut in to a 12mm strip from which I cut further strips 2.5mm wide. I filed the ends round and kept filing top and bottom until they were a tight fit. Once they were wedged in I ran some Johnsons clear over them to help them to stick.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-416\" alt=\"NBR Brake Van 015\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-015.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-015.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-015-250x300.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-415\" alt=\"NBR Brake Van 014\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-014.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-014.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-014-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-014-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-414\" alt=\"NBR Brake Van 013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-013.jpg\" width=\"709\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-013.jpg 709w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-013-300x253.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-013-354x300.jpg 354w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-413\" alt=\"NBR Brake Van 012\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-012.jpg\" width=\"672\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-012.jpg 672w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-012-300x267.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-012-336x300.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-412\" alt=\"NBR Brake Van 011\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-011.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-011.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-011-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/NBR-Brake-Van-011-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the windows are glazed with microscope cover slips from CPL stuck in with PVA.
