Chuffer for my Accucraft Plantation Loco

The H&MGR has recently purchased an Accucraft Plantation loco which like all of our fleet will get degree fitted with radio control and customise to a degree. But for now it's getting a few trial runs under manual control, which is also not as frantic fitness control, as the H&MGR doesn't suit manual operation! Anyway an early need is to fit a Summerlands Chuffer http://www.summerlands-chuffer.co.uk to beef up the exhaust volume from a whisper to a more scale sound. It was an easy job, well worth doing.

It beats me why the manufacturers don't fit one at the outset considering the immense difference they make. The cost is not extreme by any means.
Although I don't run live steam if I did, a chuffer would be a 'must'.
