Sentinel S4 Cast Chimney Base - Traction-Talk

8945 · #1 Post / In Thread 18th November 2008, 09:46 AM

Hi all,

We are currently stripping down the boiler of our Waggon for it's hydraulic test and have unfortunatly found the Chimney Base Casting to be cracked.

Has anyone got a Pattern we could borrow to get a new one cast? or does anyone have or know of anyone that has a replacement casting they would be willing to sell?

Please PM me for contact details

Hope someone can help

Thanks in advance

Matt

I don't know to be honest, it is held on to the cast boiler top with six bolts 1 on each side of the chimney base 2 at the front and 2 at the back is this the same? would have to see a picture of a super chimney base to compare it really.

Cheers

'Fraid not - what few bits of Sentinel stuff I had went to messrs Goolds a while back in exchange for some Garrett bits. ( a far better wagon as I'm sure you will finally admit Chris!!)
