@Tom Tee posted:George, consider, a chimney is more than just a straight cylinder. There is usually a taper commensurate to height, a foundation of sorts and in early 1900's some fancy brick work. Plus they emit smoke.
Well, I got this from Harry Hieki that is all the above and quite reasonable. 856 625 5506
The track is on an incline, the pictures are straight
It is 20" tall which IMO is a realistic height and will not over power the layout.
Tom,
I appreciate your post, but I am replicating this situation (below). This is the Weirton Steel Open Hearth. It had 14 ovens and all stacks were metal and straight (as far as I can tell).
I am aware of Hieke's work and it is gorgeous. However, it's not what I'm looking for. And the last time I saw one of his stacks at York it was $400. Ouch. I think it was very heavily weathered.
Anyway, I appreciate your effort.
George
