Prolly asked before, but a search didn’t get results.
Besides Grandt, are there any other sources of windows and doors?
Or how do you build your windows?
Particularly Richard Smith buildings.
Colorado Model Structures sells doors and windows used in their kits. Nothing fancy, but I think they charge $5 for enough to do a large building.

I build my own.

I wrote an article awhile back: http://www.largescalecentral.com/articles/view.php?id=52
You can get a big sheet of them for $10 from Precision Products in several styles. They are a pain to paint the clear ones but they are cheap. I use MicroMask to coat the panes, spray paint them and then score the MicroMask with an Exacto knife before peeling it off. I have clear on my station and pub -

By the way. This is my workshop. The view is great. It just lacks in everything else.

But it looks clean! 
John, Besides Grandt I’m still working from a stash of old Simpson windows I acquired some time ago. I also have used some from Colorado Models and Precision Products. The company that makes the neat white metal machinery also has a nice metal window.

The windows here are mostly Simpson with the white frame trim cut from PVC plastic. I also use Cedar for the same thing. Make the frames just a tad thicker than the siding you’re going to use for a nice reveal. All the doors and the windows on the operator’s bay are from Colorado Models trimmed down a bit. I use Precision Products on occasion, mostly their doors, but don’t like them as well as the others. Brian’s use of them are some of the best I’ve seen with this product. Also I do scratch special large windows or especially freight doors by cutting a piece if thin PVC or acrylic to size, gluing it in place, framing around it and then putting detail such as bracing and hardware on. Some of the niftiest scratch windows I’ve seen are done by Bruce. If you need to go this route it’d pay you to check out his method. I plan on doing some using his technique the next time I need a special size.

The windows on this background flat are the white metal ones mentioned above. Doors are Simpson.
Genamen,
Thank you for the input.
As I look thru my library of books on the old mining and logging rrs, I see pictures of mills and such, usually with lots of windows.
I may have to cut down on a few for my mill…
Well, if you’re doing LOTS of windows, you may want to do what I did and cheat a bit. I used hardware cloth…

Hey - You stole that from Yogi 
I always thought it was a great idea. Yogi did a vacu-form to pull the cloth into a thin clear plastic sheet. I think yours look better as it doesn’t have the rounded edges within the panes that Yogi’s do.
Do you attach the cloth at all, or just sandwich it between the “glass” and teh outer frame ?
Actually, it was more along the lines of going to pour a mold and finding that both my mold material and resin had all dried up. The question then became “How am I ever going to make all these dang windows?”; I looked around the work room and noticed the hardware cloth. Yogi had also came up with the idea to use some material from florescent light fixtures - which might have looked even better, but I’m always too impatient to wait…
I used some styrene “T” shapes. I glued them to the hardware cloth, with the flat side of the “T” facing out. Then these assemblies get glued in to the cut openings. That way, the “T” helps to hold the hardware cloth window in place.
