Atlas locomotive parts nomenclature

NHVRYGrayMember SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Has anyone ever seen a diagram of part nomenclatures? None of my locomotives had anything like that.

Reason for asking is I am looking at the Atlas parts site and there are a good number of commonly damaged or otherwise useful parts. Problem is 95% don't have a picture and I can't make out the description. Example - GP9 chimney 140125, is this the exhaust stack I'm looking for? Chimney is a common name for a stack in country's formerly associated with Britain. So is the Chimney a stack?

Many descriptions I just can't make out.

I have a call in to Atlas, but no return yet.

I, personally, have never heard an engine stack referred to as a chimney. This is kind of interesting because Atlas makes different products besides locomotives like rail cars (think caboose chimneys) and structures (with chimneys?). I would think, with GP9 in front of the part number, you are probably correct, but part pictures would definitely be better.

They give you the exploded view with part numbers... just use that.

Identify the part you need and put the part number into the search bar on top of the website. Add to cart and check out. 140125 on the diagram is the "Exhaust Stack".
