Locomotive 'open cab' canvas weather covers

Is that some sort of Super Magnadhesion that's keeping the loco on the track!!

Here's a quick shot of my first attempt at a 'Tunnocks Wrapper' cab tarpaulin.  Painted with Tamiya Rubber Black, rolled around a 2mm drill and tied with short lengths of 5amp fuse wire,  the ends of which can be used to stick the tarp to the underside of the cab roof.  A light dry brushing to enhance the folds and creases- not forgetting a brush of black on the wires too before fitting.

 

 

What do you think?

Nobody has mentioned trying the resin cast sets of stowage used by armour modellers. May be something of use there? They often have rolled tarps in them and other useful parts
