I need 6 more of the chimney in the pictures to finish a model of an engine shed. I cant remember where I got this one so if anyone can help me it would be great. It is plastic and not from Grandtline or Korber Models. I will have the finished model At York. I am in the Orange Hall row K 19-21.

I am still looking for a source for this stack. Any help would be appreciated.
Looks like the set I got with an old walthers engine shed. Maybe they can be bought separately?
If you fail to find some to buy you could make them from a piece of 1/2 inch dia wooden dowel or plastic tube.
The seams on the side can be thread glued around and the rain cap could be made from card stock. This should be rather easy since the stack is not tapered.

Or is it the stack from an IHC/Atlas O engine house?
I actually have one of these on my layout so I recognize the part. I want to say it is vintage Grandt Line, when they sold their parts with the white labels but I could be wrong. It's not part of their line now from what they show on their site. It's definitely not from the IHG enginehouse (have one of these in my kit collection) nor is it older Korber, at least not the stuff I had at one time. Hope this helps to narrow down where to look at least.
The stack itself is a single piece tube with rivet and sheet detail and the cap is a separate piece, at least that's how mine are.
Thank you for all the comments. Norm you might be right. I only have one so it probably came with one of the kits I have built over the years that I kit bashed or it was an extra. Right now I will either purchase some of the caps from Korber and put them on top of some 1/2" tube or order the Grandtline that Layedoffsick posted. I only need 5 more of them so if anyone has any that can be verified as the same I would be interested in purchasing them.
I think norm is correct. I have a few, and I am pretty sure they are vintage grandt line. Roger from stony creek gave them to me out of his parts bin
Jeff, I just sent roger an email. thanks for the information and wish me luck.

Stu,
They are Grandt Line. I have some of them. I can count how many sections and let you know. I will not be going to York and will have to mail them to you.

Alan,
Your note just made my day. This is too nice a build to compromise on the style of stack. You can contact me directly using my email link on this thread.
thank you,
Stu
I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions and knowledge about the stacks.
Special thank you to Rich at Korber Models who sent me the caps to scratch build some and Alan Graziano who Is sending me the actual Grandtline stacks. Stu
