Key Features

A UNIQUE VALVE OPERATING SYSTEM specially developed for the smaller gauge locomotive by "Well Chuffed" giving precise valve movements, using the minimum of linkage thus reducing wear and tear, also featuring an in-cab reversing lever on manual models. "No more pushing or shoving to change direction". With radio control the practise of "notching up" can be achieved. This system is a registered design, world patents pending.

A UNIQUE QUARTERING SYSTEM ensures perfect alignment of either wheels or fly-cranks on the axles.

CYLINDERS are double acting and machined from solid brass with a 9mm. bore and 12mm. stroke, fitted with "O" ring piston seals and stuffing glands, having slide valves. The crossheads are cast with separate cylinder covers painted black or body colour.

COPPER BOILERS are silver soldered, with a centre flue burner. The water filler is situated under the dome, this accepts the pipe from the filler bottle as supplied, or can be unscrewed for initial filling before steaming. A water gauge is fitted as standard as is a boiler drain valve below the footplate.  All boilers are made and tested to E.E.C regulations.

A DISPLACEMENT LUBRICATOR is mounted on the footplate and drains off through the back sheet, and is easily accessible.

THE GAS TANK is fitted in the cab, being filled through a sliding roof hatch. The regulator lever protrudes to the rear of the cab, just below the roof, and is therefore more accessible during operation. Gas tank tested and certified.

40 MHz RADIO CONTROL is fitted as standard, the receiver being in the left
hand tank inside the cab. The switch is on top of the right hand bunker. The re-chargeable batteries are in the right hand tank and are accessible through a hinged flap in the tank base.

Please Note: "Well Chuffed" reserves the right to change the design and specifications, without prior notice, in the furtherance of their products.
