Welcome to the Summerlands Chuffers website!

Here we are able to tell you all about the Summerlands Chuffer, explain how to fit it to your gas or spirit fired garden railway loco and let you hear it in action on the many videos. This website also has lots more to interest the garden railway enthusiast as you can see in the contents list below.

The Summerlands Chuffer is a highly developed and precision engineered chuff pipe that can bring the real sound of a working steam loco to your 16mm and G Scale railway. Designed to be a straightforward fit to many of the commercially available steam locos in these scales, it amplifies and enhances the sound of the exhaust steam and has the additional benefit of directing the oil and water downwards when starting.

Since the launch in July 2009, around 9,000 have been sold across the globe. With the optional FX Control, you can control the loudness of the chuff and also enhance the steam plume for spectacularly steamy photography!

If your locos are radio control, the Summerlands Chuffer really does add a whole new dimension to your driving, because you can now hear the loco working. And if you are a manual control fan, just load her up, sit back and enjoy the sight and sound of your steam loco, pure magic!

“Adds a whole new dimension to running steam.”

Marc Horovitz, editor of Garden Railways magazine, Feb 2010
