Peckett Chimney


 Another commission from my friend Ben, this time a chimney for a scratchbuilt 009 Sena Sugar Estates Peckett 0-6-0ST. This was turned from brass using my Unimat 3.


One of the nice things about this job is that the part is finished ready to sit on the loco rather than to be used as a casting pattern, which means that I can make the top lip and flange a little finer. Its also hollow as Ben didn't want a locating peg underneath.

I'm quite pleased with this, and I'm looking forward to seeing it fitted. 


Paul.

  1. Lovely work - the flange at the base is particularly impressive.

    1. Thanks Steve. Filing the flange is gentle, patient work. Good light and a headband magnifier are essential, along with decent files and fine emery cloth.
