email Nick at Monahan he may be able to help, I think I have seen one of his engines with one, don't go to big as they drink steam and only splutter most of the time till they clear there throat.

Thanks all, no doubt there'll be more questions as my Lady Margaret steam launch progresses.....the net is a great medium, I could never afford the postage on the Hull, but on another site I met a guy who was migrating to Oz, & had room in his container.....Kingston certainly work well on a deadline, & produce a lovely hull.

I just bought the steam engine, & Nick isn't quite ready with the whistle production, but it sounds like he has some "Goodies" in the pipeline.
