Title: Cheddar Puffin steam engine
Post by: Eduard on October 10, 2019, 11:13:14 pm

Hello,my name is Eduard and I am new here, glad to met you. Perhaps someone can help. I am looking for the (genuine) piezo system for the Cheddar vertical Boiler (Puffin steam Plant). Any ideas where to get one? (perhaps somebody has one and sell it to me?).Thank you in advance.Regrads Eduard

Welcome Eduard........


Clevedon Steam now provide original type components for Cheddar steam product......great chap to deal with  :-)) 
.....following is an extract from his WEB site

"Welcome to the Clevedon Steam Site.I started my Clevedon Steam business in 2006, after the demise of Cheddar Models Ltd, where I had worked for seven years until the end in 2005 - The idea was to offer support for ex-Cheddar customers and provide advice and spare parts.  There has been a steady increase in accessories that are available, primarily Cheddar compatible fittings.

Hallo Eduard,


If you can't find the original Cheddar piezo unit, I'm sure you could adapt one from a gas lighter.
