  Got impatient and bought this off Ebay so i could try some steam

  Hi Nick,
  
  I have a wife, there is no shelf space 
  
  I do see their is a sad looking Stuart Victoria steam plant for sale, the engine looks like a disaster zone but i couldn't buy the unmachined kit and boiler for that price so seriously considering it for a project.
