They aren’t perfect but they look the part. Added wire attachments to the sides to hopefully keep them from getting knocked off during operating sessions. Will tackle the short hood tomorrow. I ended up cutting the Detail West Alco number boards down. As the came out of the package they were probably 30” HO and the MP version was 22”. Lots of filing and sanding to get the right length. The ‘L’ Evergreen plastic is almost 14” on either side so that was almost perfect for the bracket piece.
