Chuffer Pipe

NEW

Summerlands Chuffer

To fit all MSS and older Mamod locos

 

We are very pleased to offer the new Summerlands Chuffer.  This is a highly developed and precision engineered chuff pipe that can bring the real sound of a working steam loco to your MSS or older Mamod loco.

It is machined from solid brass to a design that has been proven, through extensive testing and customer trials, to give an excellent chuff.

The chuff pipe consists of a jet within a narrow throat. This has a specially designed sounding slot, hand cut into the machined body. The body above the slot is machined out to give the maximum volume for resonance, which, when mounted within the chimney of the loco, amplifies the sound.

Please Note: This chuff pipe is 48mm long with a 25mm adaptor tube to fit over the existing 1/8th (3.2mm) exhaust pipe in the smoke box.  You will need to remove the smoke box to fit this item, which will require some dismantling of your loco.  The existing exhaust pipe will also need some bending into position to meet up with the chuff pipe.  Help is available by email or telephone and we offer a full fitting service under our Services page if required.

Topping off the chimney with this solid brass small cowl really adds a nice finishing touch to your loco.  Just fits tightly on the top of the chimney with a few light taps with a rubber hammer or piece of wood.
