Streamlined K2 tender?

[NW Modeling List]

Hi

What is the sheeting that hangs down on the LHS side of the K2's beneath the running board?

Thanks.

To add to this discussion on K2 tender trucks here 
is an image from the VA Tech  collection of 122 when she looked 
to be brand new at Roanoke Shops.

The previously posted photo of 129 is dated 
02-04-46 so I would say the engine was newly streamlined in that 
photo.
 
Here are photos from my collection, 129 at 
Hagerstown 02-20-54, and 130, 131 same location, different date. Does 
it look like the bearing boxes have been changed or the trucks replaced by this 
time?  I have also noticed that the spoked lead truck wheels on all the 
K2's were replaced at some date.  Can Ed King or Col Jeffries shed some 
light on the changes?
