Jensen Smoke Stacks
« on: July 25, 2020, 10:57:40 pm »
Love all my Jensen engines, but those smokestacks....I uses Rog's idea of a few drops of superglue on all of them to keep them in place.

I wish that little pressed 'button' that you push the smokestack on was twice the height.

Nothing worse than filming a Jensen, only to have the stack vibrate off and ruin the shot... happens every time!  :D

I have used 3/4" magnets to keep the Smoke Stacks from not falling off.

Your stack attachment point is better than the one I've been using without the magnets.

If I had the storage space... And the money... I'd have a few more engines.

this is what i usually do, make a brass lug for the chimney to sit on, but I do like Carl's ideal for the tapered stacks.
