I know that Summerland Chuffed are the bees knees, but now being a skint student again I would like to have a go at making my own.
I have seen a description of how to make and exhaust enhancer in an old magazine, but I can't find the damn thing now.
Anyone got any plans or descriptions. If I remember it was just a question of crimping the end of the pipe and filing a slot in it. However I can't remember if there was anything more technical to it.
Chuff pipe making

This is an accidental chuff pipe, Jim.
The essence of the Summerland is that the exhaust is squirted across a sharp edge inside the chimbley (not the smokebox), while the smokebox provides a Helmholtz Resonator to deepen the tone (like the drum of a referee's whistle).
(There, I've told you the technical bit now.)
The text is pixellated to fit it into the forum's file-size limit, and may be easier to read if downloaded and enlarged.
