Glad you enjoyed it John. The boiler is a simple pot type, 3" x 7", brass tube with copper end caps and an internal stay. The gas burner is a Bix 5 incher with a No7 jet, running on butane/propane mix, once steam is raised it can be turned down to almost minimum to maintain pressure, I think my smallest (2 inch) Bix burner would probably give enough heat for this setup. Boiler capacity is sufficient for a good 45 minute run with an ample safety margin.
I have a Polish school engine too which had a full restoration by the seller to a very high standard and that is a very fine runner on both air and steam.
