Dean Goods - chimney

[rprodgers]

Please can someone here guide me.

 

I wish to upgrade the chimney on my Oxford Dean Goods and was looking on the Brassmasters website.

 

There are two versions available, one described as parallel the other tapered.

 

Despite looking at a number of photographs of Dean Goods locos I am still unsure what would be appropriate for a loco early to mid 1920s?

Also approximately when did the chimney style change?
 

Thank you for any advice given.

Either.

1919, approximately.

I can’t remember how much info is in there, but might be worth a read of the Finney instructions.

@Miss Prism thanks for the information, but did the chimney style change from parallel to tapered ?

 

I purchased a copy of the Locos. Illustrated 55 Dean Goods etc and was struggling to see a difference ( other than the v early ones appeared much slimmer parallel chimney with a copper cap). They all appeared to me to have a parallel barrel (or extremely subtle taper) to the chimneys ?

The difference is not subtle when you get used to it. The elevation angle of camera to loco does make a bit of difference in the perception.

 

 

Parallel chimneys went in and out of fashion. The general tendency however was for locos to get the tapered style, and this became dominant after c 1930. I've no doubt, with boiler swaps, that some locos reverted from tapered to parallel on occasion.

 

First, get yer picture....
