THE SUMMERLANDS CHUFFER

Please read this first then scroll down!

Fitting the Chuffer to a Roundhouse twin-exhaust model (such as later models of Lady Anne, Katie etc.) involves removing the smoke-box and cutting the twin exhaust pipes. Fitting to some of the earlier Roundhouse models is more complex, but certainly possible for someone with basic skills. Fitting to Accucraft locos is generally more simple as the exhaust unscrews and can be accessed through the opening smoke-box door.

However, if having read the fitting instructions , you are in any doubt about your ability to fit the Chuffer, please seek advice from someone with model engineering skills (not Roundhouse please!). We cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused by incorrect fitting.

If your loco is still under guarantee, then the cutting of the exhausts on a Roundhouse loco could affect the guarantee on these and associated parts – if in doubt please contact Roundhouse. Fitting to an Accucraft loco should not affect the guarantee, but any damage done would not be covered. If in doubt, contact Accucraft.

If, after purchasing a Summerlands Chuffer, you decide that this product is not for you – then you can send it back to us undamaged, within 56 days of purchase to D P Supplies, together with your receipt (or where and when purchased) and name and address, for a full refund of the purchase price (excluding any additional post and packing).

For those wanting to understand the workings of small steam locos, I can think of no better book than A Passion for Steam by Marc Horovitz. It is also a great book for those who like to drool over some of the classic garden railway locos and is available from Atlantic Publishers
