"....all I can say is brilliant - made the world of differences to the locomotive - really pleased....." (Roundhouse Billy)
"....I have to say that they bring a new and positive dimension to 16mm live steam. Very impressed and will be recommending the brand to anyone who is interested (and to those who think they’re not)."

Here is a Roundhouse Argyll from 2003. It is great to drive with R/C as you can hear the power!
"A whole new dimension to running steam"
Welcome to the Summerlands Chuffer website - and that quote above says it all! They are not our words, but the words of Marc Horovitz, editor of Garden Railways magazine, writing about the Summerlands Chuffer in the Feb 2010 issue. You can see the full quote on the Chuffer News page.
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.
If your locos are radio control, the Summerlands Chuffer adds a whole new dimension - because you can now hear the loco working. You can sense the need for more regulator and when to ease back and when your loco is out of sight, you can still have full control, just by listening to the exhaust!
And if you are a manual contol fan, just load her up, sit back and enjoy the sight and sound of your steam loco - pure magic!
So if you fancy adding that "new dimension" to your garden railway, browse this site to see videos, fitting notes and ideas from fellow enthusiasts across the world who have helped bring the sound of the Chuffer to a huge variety of locos.

Customer Comments
"Well done on bringing to market such an excellent enhancement for our models."
"The Summerlands chuff pipe is one of the best investments I have made in 16mm. I am one satisfied customer!"
"Thanks ..... for all your efforts in producing this little gem. It's worth
every penny and I love it!"
"I just installed my Chuffer in the "Countess" and I can't believe the change in the sound. Even here in the wilds and high altitude of Western Canada the device works very well."
