Buying your Summerlands Chuffer
There are over 80 types of Chuffer so make sure you choose the right one for your loco. Check out the Chuffer page here and if in doubt, please get in touch via the contact link at the bottom of the page.
Why no internet shop?
Because we find that having specialised dealers, who can advise customers, is the best way to provide customers with what they want. We also deal direct, through Nigel’s D P Supplies business and I (Chris Bird) am available to advise most days via email. Contact summerlandschuffer (at) gmail.com
Our guarantee
We want you to be totally happy with your Summerlands Chuffer and allow up to eight weeks for you to be sure. If you send it back within that time we will refund your purchase price (though not your return postage). If it is faulty, then of course we will replace or refund and pay your postage as well. And if you break it any time (by overtightening it for example) then just send it to us with the return postage and we will repair it free of charge.
Buying direct
You can order direct from us by contacting:
Nigel Garrett at D P Supplies (Nigel is the man who makes all the Chuffers)

Nigel takes cheques and PayPal and is also happy to supply internationally (non–EU countries are free of the UK’s 20% VAT so the price is currently £24.16 plus shipping). For PayPal orders just send him an email and he will send you a PayPal invoice. January 2026 – please note that USA orders will be subject to a 10% tariff and handling charge. This may change at short notice due to USA government policy.
Or by using the contact form at the bottom of the page. Please note that as Nigel makes Chuffers to order, and is always very busy, you need to allow at least two weeks from order to shipping.
