I have repair one and have an unbuilt kit and two boilers, they are a nice boat there was a build in model boats some years ago.very hard to find I have only seen one un built on ebay and I bought it , I have been offed £1000 for just the kit without the boilers , and Brian wont build the boilers any more he let me have a kit of parts that he had some years ago because they are made of nickel steel and copper I did get hold of half a dozen copper boiler caps though they are in two sizes the mk1 boiler and mk 2 that had a ceramic burner but Brian Martin recons the older gas get is better.
