That's the problem with Super Glue, it leaves white marks, which is why I no longer use it for windows, use two-part resin or full strength PVA glue.

What method did you use for making the corrugated iron roof?

I tend to find that epoxy still discolours the windows and doesn't stick properly, although it may depend on brand etc. As for PVA, my coaches get far too much handling to make this work, even with full strength
Look forward to seeing the rebuilt coach MHLR, the corrugatted roof sounds like its a good idea on a workers coach

"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."
