Oops, you could always but a flat back cab on it. But you'd have to give the loco a full re-paint.

dad bent it back into shape.
altho, i may make a flat back , as the bunker makes it hard to attach coplings

Therewas a How To thing on the Chidham site, but that's gone now. You could ask Keith for it.

A very interesting and nice sound Andy. Do you use a small circular hole or a slot to achieve your chuff? I'm currently using a piece of copper pipe which is soldered up on the top, and a small circular hole drilled on the side lower down, to put on top of my Mamod & IP Jane exhaust pipes as an exhaust restrictor, and was wondering if a small horizontal slot would make a difference to the chuff achieved.
Your experience just proves that live steam models should be kept away from animals and inquisitive young children, otherwise accidents will happen.

i use a large slot.
but it needs some work , after running it on the club track, i found that it wont keep the deep sound for very long, it will then change to a high sound. which i dont want. i think i bigger piece of pipe is needed.

On roundhouse loco,s take a bit of brass about 1/2 inch long drill two holes in the bottom of it to take the two 1/8th exhuast pipes,in the other end of the brass drill a bigger hole until you see the two holes,i then turn some brass to fit in the larger hole i drilled,i then drill a small hole through that straight down the centre,the exhuast then shoots through the small hole making a blast,this is then directed to hit the chimney base giving a chuff,it's a blast nozzel,as full size.
On accucraft loco,s
you have a single exhuast pipe,you can shorten it into the smokebox then cut a thread on it take a piece of brass ,drill and tap this to the same as the exhuast don't drill all the way through the brass,because you need to drill a small hole from the top,this then gives you a blast pipe,which give you a chuff.
