My Pug needs a chimney

Recommended Posts

I managed to drop my Dapol Pug and broke the chimney off, so I need a replacement.

Does anyone make an exact replacement (pref.metal) or one that might be suitable?

Would Dapol have spares, maybe from the old Airfix kit?

Turned brass replacement chimneys are available from:

 

 

http://www.modelsignals.com/4mm_scale_frame.htm

 

 

ref: LYRC001 about 3/4 down the page for the grand sum of £2.50

 

And very good they are too... What they also show is how malnourished the original Dapol one is. On the left, the original, on the right, the one fitted with the 51L replacement chimney as part of the project based around installing a High level chassis kit, built to P4.

Note that High Level do NOT supply the chimney in their kit. There are a number of lost wax castings, but this is not one of them. The kit is superb, the chimney makes the model that touch better.

Whilst wandering around the Dartford show, I found a trader with various turned metal chimneys at £2 a go, so I selected a couple of likely candidates.

Both look like they will suit, just a question now of which one I like the look of most.

Regretably, Wizard / Model Signals are out of stock of Pug chimneys; (they'll be back in stock "when the guy who makes them can be bothered to make some")!

 

Can anyone suggest an alternative source of supply, please?

I would hope he's got one by now. That post is nearly nine years old....

No, John's question was only an hour ago.

OK - it's an old thread, but that's the joy (?) of Google.

 

I am currently - ie. October 2019 - looking for replacement chimneys for 4mm. scale Dapol / Hornby L&YR 'Pug' locos; Wizard / Model Signal can't assist.

 

... or am I going to have to trawl Ebay for built Kitmaster / Airfix / Dapol 'Pugs' to cannibalise?

 

Regards,

John Isherwood.

The only one I know about is the 51L version. For some reason he's been out of stock of most of the L&Y stuff for a while. I'm after the carriages to go with the 2-4-2T.

 

Peters Spares had the chimneys until recently. They are selling the Hornby bodies cheap as well.

Including without a cab for £4.69

Well, I'm flattered LOL

 

I got my 7mm chimney from Agenoria, which is now part of Ragstone Models. There are a couple of chimneys listed in the detailing parts list

I fitted the brass one

Thank you - I have ordered a couple of Hornby bodies without cabs, as the chimney looks to be infinitely better than the Dapol version - and they only cost £3.91 each.
