A little update, haven’t had much modeling time lately but got a start on the mechanicals.
The “stove bolt six” out of a Hubley chevy kit paired with a scratch radiator.

OK, I’m game and impress me…what is the radiator core material as I’m guessing some kind of fabric?
Doesn’t matter though as it’s got the look needed.
Rooster;
NEVER say “I’m game” in the woods during hunting season! Those Pennsyltucky lads are notoriously trigger happy!

Apologize for the delayed answer, been camping in the High Desert for the past week.
To answer your question, it is made from a piece of plastic place mat. The wife bought some place mats for the breakfast table 3-4 years ago and we used them everyday.
One day a few months ago she bought some new ones and told me to toss these old ones in the trash on my way to the shop. Now I had looked at these mats for years and never made a connection to model building but as I threw them in the dumpster I thought, duh, that would make perfect radiator core material.
This was during this years MIK build so I used it on that Loco and now on this tank car.
Here is a picture of what’s left of the mat i saved you can see the parts used.
