    I have decided that BLMA has a sinister plot to drive all us "older" modelers crazy with their detail parts. Wonderful parts, but every pack should come with a pair of steady hands and a good set of eyes as well!!

    I just noticed that huge exhaust stack on the one (156?) ALCo. What was the purpose of it? Spark arrestor of some sort?

    I really don't know. probably a spark arrestor. Mine model is round (styrene) and it should be oval shaped. Check this photo for info. Here is a comparison. (T&NO engine.)

    Not a spark arrestor, but just the Alco stack extension.

    YEAH!!!!! Love those smoky Alcos. Grew up with the old RS-10s and RS-18s around my neck of the woods. They could smoke up a storm. A geep goes by once in a while... meh. No smoke!
