Seeing my Weaver 10 Wheeler with a cab deck plate between engine and tender, makes a big difference. So thinking of adding these to a couple of my steam engines. Were these diamond plates or smooth? How did you hinge them if so?

Doeas anyone else add these to their steam locos? Thanks ahead.

The two locomotives I work on that have tender deck plates have diamond tread for grip.  Can't say for certain they were originally that way, but that's how they've been since restoration.

 

The plates on those locomotive are attached to the cab with a metal hinge that looks something like a large squared off chain link made out of round stock that runs through a bracket on the cab and one on the deck plate itself.
