This may seem strange, but the big thing wit...Ray,<br /><br />This may seem strange, but the big thing with the funnels is that when you do a real look at them in the real world as well as in most photo's is that they actually do not appear. and I use that word in a deliberate way, as in most cases the funnels on models actually appear to be to straight in the vertical sections from both top and bottom flanges.<br /><br />If the funnels are too high as in the case with the Eureka 50cl it really accentuates the straight aspect of them. Mostly when seen in real life and most photo's I have and have seen is that the funnels actually seem to have less a straight aspect with them and seem to have degree of appearances that seem to indicate the funnel actually has a constant minimal curve in them.<br /><br />Some early steam loco's that were saturated had a higher funnel but when superheated they received a shorter one. Noticeable on 30cl, in saying that many of the saturated 30's also had the shorter funnel.<br /><br />I have compared the funnel off a DJH 50cl to that of the Eureka version, and it comes up very much better, the DJH is shorter and gets the overall appearance correct.Colin Husseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166476334786660482noreply@blogger.com
