Lionel smoke filler cap replacement

Ted

When I get home I will post a picture of my PRR Cap so the guys have something to go on.  I'll also try to get measurements.

thank you!

Hope these help...

This is the smaller diameter part of the plug.

This is the larger diameter.

Thank you Marty!

Ted,

The phone is downstairs so I can't take a picture... but, it fits into my Sharknose nicely.  I'll get a couple out to you in a day or two.  You will have to tidy them up a bit and paint them.

This forum is awesome!  Nice work!

Wow. Thanks.  This forum is unbelievably helpful

WOW, nice work Dennis!  I actually have a couple of these caps that I bought years ago, I just can't find them!  I bought them so I could put smoke in the B-unit of my Century Club A-B-A Shark set.  Somewhere I have all those parts in a bag for the job...

Just living the dream...

This seems like an easy part to loose.  Will you upload this to the OGR 3D Project Catalog?

Yeah, we will get it up there.  The important part is to provide a CAD readable file (.stl(s) are not) in addition to the .stl.  That way if someone wants to tweak it, they can.  Resizing is one thing... but, being able to 'modify' the drawing is incredibly helpful.

I may try to get one of these since I can't find the ones I bought from Lionel, and my project is still sitting there waiting for a cap.

John,  I'll just throw a few at you when I get Ted's ready to go.

Just a couple will do, if they're printed in Brunswick Green, that would be a bonus. 

Darn!!!  Fresh out of Brunswick... Spit Shine Gray is all the Rage
