More Correct Stacks for HO ATSF & LAJ ALCO S-2 & S-4
#1
Not liking the too short cylindrical stacks for my Santa Fe & LAJ ALCO S-2/S-4-4 models by Atlas & Bachmann, had David Cutting of Cutting Edge Scale Models do the stacks thru Shapeways. The Santa Fe ones are rectangular & not cylindrical. The LAJ stacks are cylindrical but taller. Attached images of Santa Fe & LAJ stacks on Bachmann S-2 models.
Anyone know if these 2 types were used by any other RRs?
If you would like to get any of these stacks, email me at lajrmdlr AT gmail.com. There's 16 stacks per sprue. All my ATSF & LAJ modeler friends "gobbled up" my first batches but will be getting 2 more sprues of each type by 6/11/14. They will be soaked in Bestine 24 hours so they so they turn white & will take paint.

Have learned that UP & WP didn't use the stock ALCO stacks so now have pix of those locos plus ATSF & LAJ ALCOs in one Dropbox folder:

Please let me know if this Dropbox link works.

A easy project that makes a Santa Fe Alco switcher closer to its prototype.. Thumbsup

Wish we had more topics like this.
