Reply to "18” Dome Coach Interior Upgrade"

Inspired by Hancock52 I have started to spruce up my Lionel UP cars. I have no plans now to get as detailed but one detail I wanted to add were headrest covers. Scale City has a few but none for UP yet so I decided to try and make my own. Googling Union Pacific Headrest Covers I found this image. It was a the flatest one I could find. Others with white or yellow backgrounds were not flat and would have produced a distorted image.

Then using a freeware program called Irfanview I made an array of the image and scaled the array so each image would fit on the seatbacks.

Here printed on paper are the results. I plan to print them on decal film for final application.

Hi Norton, Thank you for the link to the headrest covers.  If I upgrade to the correct high back coach seats in my K-Line cars I will definitely use these headrest covers.  Are you also running the 21” UP dome cars from Lionel?
