[QUOTE=Eichhornchen;2279537]@ Sailor Steve: noted. I'm not sure what it's called on a loco but it certainly is called a funnel on a ship, as you say. Perhaps August or someone knowledgeable about railways (railroads... there's another one) could set us straight. I've a funny feeling, however, that it is called a chimney. I'll go and check out that thread now myself...

On a steam locomotive, the chimney is referred to as a chimney on UK railways, and as already noted a smokestack on US railroads.
Have being a steam enthusiast since I was a toddler, and I have never heard or read of a chimney referred to as anything else on this side of the Atlantic.
