Latimer Plane L5 chimneyWould one of you guys who own an L5 please be kind enough to give me the dimensions of the chimney?
I got the wreck off 'the site' the other day and it's missing one. So it's out with the hammer and socket again!
Many thanks

Gosh - that was quick! I love a challenge (or maybe I'm just gullable!). Yours looked soooo cool I had to have a go.

Internal - the chimney is a tightish push fit on the steam dome, maybe run a rule or calipers over the steam dome to get a better idea, mine is tight but not overly difficult to push on or pull off.

Nice one Steve. They are super engines and it will be great to see that one brought back to life
