Tim...No part is made in one piece.
Custom Finishing has an extended one but it is not tapered. When I did some
Athearn shells years age, I used Details Associates 2402 and inverted them on
top of the existing stack, after shaving the existing stack down a bit. Fit
perfectly. Unfortunately the P2K stack is smaller. So it looks like you'll
have to shave it off and use DA 2401 and 2402 combined to get the extended
stack. I'll need to do this too as I have several units to do. So I hope the two
will fit together. If not then I think I'll use some Evergreen stock and sand a
lower section to match the 2402 part. Page 63 has an overhead shot showing the
extended stacks. Good luck.

Subject: [CBQ] SD 7 Exhaust Stack
I am detailing an old Proto 2000 SD7 for CB&Q in
1969 and the unit I am doing (#315) appears to have exhaust stacks taller
than what is on the model. The stacks appear about twice as tall as the stock
one, with a slight inward taper towards the top. A photo of BNSF 6132 in BB48,
page 85 is the best photo I have come across that shows this stack.
Is there a commercially available part for this? What have others
done to model this?
Thanks, Tim
Wells
