Will the new stacks fit the original cast metal version?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I would assume yes because why retool? However, the old Genset were diecast with the new shells plastic. If you are simply looking for replacements the parts breakdown for the older diecast models are available for order on Lionel parts website. Not cheap though at $12 a stack.
Steims, thanks for chiming in again, Question, does Lionel have the smoke stacks in stock with the flapper for the VL Gensets? I called Lionel customer service a week or so ago and they do not have these smoke stacks available for the new plastic version of their Gensets. I have the CSX model and it runs so smoothly. Thank you. Happy Railroading Everyone.

They currently show available for the diecast & VL Gensets.
I don't see a parts breakdown out for the new Gensets yet.
Great, I just ordered three for my VL Genset, the originals were not in good shape anymore. 
Great, I’ll call Lionel after Thanksgiving, Thank you very much. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone…
Merry Christmas Everyone, I just ordered my 3 flapper smoke stacks from Aaron at Lionel this morning. Thank you Steims, now my UP VL Genset is complete. Happy Railroading Everyone…
