Added some weather curtains to the loco today, but I'm not sure, What do you think?

May be they would look better darker?

Are you going to press pleats into them and tie them back Jerry?

Mike I was going to leave them open they cover a big gap between tender and loco, agreed they look to clean. I've only stuck them on an hour or so ago, but I'm not sure I like em &:

way to clean don't know if it will work (so try with a bit of waste material) but draw some stitching around the edge with a fine pen then die them in tea...may even need the railway name across them ?

Any better ?

They do look quite a bit darker than the photo makes them look.

 

[Tony]

a lot better

 

[beavercreek]

Nice 'n' dirty............. just like my women ..........oh yeah, really?

Seriously, a vast improvement....now to weather the whole loco to match them
