Re: Re: [NSW] Tangara vs Millennium

Sorry got the mathemagics slightly wrong.

I'll assume the windows have 3 panes--inner, middle and outer.

so actually it's $9000 per window, 8 windows per car...here we go

9000 * 8 * (384 + 80)

$33.3 million dollars total.


now how much would it cost if the windows didn't go all the way up to
the ceiling? (i.e. no "skylight" part?)

          It was $3000 per pane IIRC.  That means $6000 per window, or
$48000 per car for
          the upper deck windows.  You haven't taken into account the
cost of the new
          windows which would probably be in the order of $1000 per
pane, or $16000 per
          car.
