Reply to "trim for standard gauge Hiawatha engine"

Thanks for all the ideas.  Here's my current direction...

Got a piece of aluminum - 1/2" x 12" x 1/64" (0.0156?) thick - same thickness as the original trim, and the color of the aluminum is very close to the background color on the trim.  Cost less than $2.  Cut a piece of thin cardstock to fit the depression where the trim goes, and worked on it until it was very close to size.  Used the card as a template to mark, cut, and file the aluminum piece to fit.  Tried using a paint marker to draw the black lines, as 1/32" pinstriping couldn't be obtained.  Paint appears to be sticking.  My paint job is pathetic, so no pics, but I'm working on it.  There is glue residue where the trim goes, indicating that the original was glued on, so I'm planning to use thick CA.
