Hello All
I friend of mine is asking me to fit a Summerlands to his Tom Rolt. I cant really remember but was there some stories flying about some time ago about the chuffers not working as they should with Tom Rolts?

I have a Tom Rolt and really took time fitting it. It is very quiet unless I have a heavy load on so in a way it is one of the few locos that it might not be worth the bother. I put music on this video as you could not hear the loco with 3 trucks on. The problem is the pipe is very short because of smoke box and chimney size.

It does work but not as well as longer size ones and only works well under load. I have an Accucraft Ragleth which is much loader even on a small load. I have a Roundhouse Charles which is very load. I have fitted several chuff pipes on Mamods and these are similar to Tom Rolts. They are quiet unless under load but I'd say Tom is a tad quieter still. The fitment is tricky so do read the instructions and perhaps telephone, be accurate. Hope this helps but does not cast a shadow on what is a great company with a great product.
So thier Quiet unless they are under load, Just the way I like a chuff pipe. Sounds like Im going ahead, Cheers fellas.
