Chimney Decoration
« on: August 24, 2022, 09:43:39 am »
My 504 boiler chimney looked too plain, so I made a cap for the chimney out of a piece of 660 bronze that I had in my scrap box.

NICE! the Stuart chimney
is a bit simple, so a crown immediately looks better.

Yep... that looks a lot better than a plain cut- off.

Are you going to blue the steel part?

I’m thinking of nickel plating the stack after the show season ends.

What’s left on your show schedule?
