Summerlands Chuffer

[CoggesRailway]

worn out with rebuilding my railway- wondering if it is worth it... then saw your clips and i know it certainly is! Thanks for posting...

 

[bobg]

And Bob - I think (hope!) you will be pleased with the result ........ Cheers Chris

I don't doubt it for a moment Chris, but hang on to your braces; I might come back looking for one to fit a Romulus!

A serious amount of wheel spin when lifting that heavy rake of carriages/wagons Curlew! Great stuff!

 

[Jerry Barnes]

I put one on my Aristo Live Steam Mikado, easy to install and sounds great. Great value for the price!

 

[Curlew]

Thanks for posting Jerry. Nice to know the Chuffer has reached Nebraska. Could we hear the Aristocraft Mike with Chuffer some time?

 

[Cranford]

Thanks Chris, apologies for the delay in responding, garden rail is only a part of life.

 

[Chris Bird]

No worries Tony - I hope it might come in handy sometime

Curlew - I hope Jerry will not mind me posting a link to his Mike video (which is also on my website). There are more videos since this one, showing his great railway.

There was a Mike for sale on UK Ebay last time I looked - but I think you need 12ft radii.
Cheers
Chris

I've just ordered one for my "Countess".........as well as a couple of other useful things, like an extra 3rd/composite coach, so nice shiney boxes later this week.

Big shiney box arrived!

Shame I haven't got time today to fit and test the contents.:crying:

 

[bobg]

Chuffer unpacked and fitted, 2 minutes dead! Couldn't be easier.

Testing! Testing! Testing!

Well, perhaps a little later, after coffee.

 

[bobg]

Well! The Chuffer chuffed, and Chuffer's chuffer (chauffeur) was chuffed, very well chuffed indeed. You could say; Chuffin' 'ell!!!

I had great fun on my long bank trying to hold Countess with three Pickerings, just above a stall, so I could count the beats. Magic sound! Chu.....ffff...........chu....ffff..........chu.....ffff........... :love:

Pity I couldn't record the sound and attach it here.

Be brave and do what I did. Make a short (and not very good) vid and post it on YouTube. Then we can all hear it!

Tricky one that, I dont posess a video camera anymore, and my digital still camera does video but no sound.

Might see if I can borrow one.

 

[New Haven Neil]

The VoR tank is my best chuffer.....this evening's run....

 

[Chris Bird]

Bob - that is great news - and very descriptive

And Neil - that is a stunning photo - your VoR looks fantastic with the lining

Cheers
Chris

 

[brianthesnail96]

That was just an excuse for a gratuitous photo Neil- not complaining mind, ace shot.

Told you you'd be, erm, chuffed with it Bob!

 

[bobg]

A chuffing good afternoons 'chuffing' was had with G/son. We chuiffed up and down so much that now we also get lots of slip ( :thinking: probably due to all that steam oil that we used). Tested so much we didn't have time for piccys. New 3rd/brake compo is now well run in.

 

[New Haven Neil]

I'm with you now Chris about the comment on GRC - I thought you meant the photos on the daily thread, I posted 3 on that so wasn't sure which one you meant. I forgot I had posted one here! D'oh!
