Chimneys on Fowler 4F,2P & 4P Compounds.

I would like to replace the Deeley/Fowler chimneys of my models with the type carried from 1940 - 1967 which some refer to as "Stanier" type. The Gibson "Fowler" chimneys are what I think of as "Deeley" . They do a 2' Stanier a


d likely? Who else does chimneys?

Well , it looks as if my computer has a mind of its own today!

As I was trying to say, The Gibson range contains only a 2ft and a tall jubilee version; I don't believe that either of those fits the bill. Are their any other UK suppliers with a better description? All help very welcome!

On 4F's difference between earlier and Stanier chimneys is earlier ones had capuchons (aka wind guards). In both types there were 2 heights (approx) 1'6" and 2', the shorter one for use in the northern division. Stanier 4F differs from Jubilee as Jubilee has more of a shape to it.

Of course later on there was the short BR chimney.
