2-1/4" Smokestack

2-1/4" Wooden Smokestack — Maple Chimney Component for G Scale Railway and Toy Models

This 2-1/4 inch (56.40 mm) wooden smokestack is purpose-built for large-scale railroad hobbyists and model makers working in G Scale (Garden Scale) environments. Made from solid maple hardwood, each smokestack is lathe-turned and carefully sanded to a smooth, unfinished finish—ready for painting, staining, or creative engraving. Its secure press-fit, tapered tenon makes attachment to 1/2" bores simple and tool-free, providing instant, authentic chimney detail for trains, steam engines, and woodcraft models in both indoor and garden layouts.

Key Features

• Solid maple ensures excellent durability and a smooth, ready-for-finish surface.
• Tapered 1/2" (12.70 mm) diameter tenon, 5/8" (15.88 mm) length for straightforward press-fit mounting—no glue or tools needed for secure installation.
• Classic cylindrical chimney shape with a flat top ridge detail enhances the realism of steam engine and architectural models.
• Optimal size for G Scale (1:22.5, 1:16, 1:12) train chimneys, wooden toy restoration, or detailed architectural dioramas.
• Lightweight at just 0.03 lbs (13.6 g) to support large model builds with minimal added mass.
• Available in quantities of 1, 10, or 50 for small repairs or batch project builds.
• Smooth sanded finish reduces prep time—ready for immediate painting, sealing, or stamping.
