gap between engine and tender
 
sure someone has thought of this before .but apiece of heavy rubble sack stuck to the loco footplate and trimmed to overlap the tender fills the gap and is flexible enough to go round curves points .

I think that after 150 years of steam operation, someone might have thought of this? If you find photos of Midland region engines, you will find this used on many locos, especially the 0-8-0's.

Probably a piece of card or Plasticard glued at one end would do the job.

yes it would but a piece of plastic sack is flexible and allows loco to go round sharp curves.:)
