Title: 4-4-0 stack switch over
Post by: norman on September 03, 2010, 11:46:00 PM

Dear Mr Bachmann:

Is the Eureka & Palisade Radeley Hunter stack interchangable with the blue boiler diamond stack ?

Do the Radeley Hunter stack and the diamond stack plug into the same type of smoke box base?

Any problems to encounter in switching the Radeley Hunter stack with the diamond stack?

Thank you

Norman

Dear Norman,
I believe they're easily interchangeable, but I'll check when I get home from St Louis on Monday.
Have fun!

Dear Mr Bachmann

Have you been able to test fit the stacks?

Thank you
Norman

Hi, Norman,
Plumb forgot!
I'll unpack one tomorrow.
Thanks!

Dear Norman,
Well, the stacks can be switched, but it will take a little work. I'd cut the flange off the bottom of the small diamond and glue it to the base that supports the Rad stack on, for instance, the Eureka.
Have fun!
