I have a Mercer Rob nice engine, mine ran well before painting but since only run it on air. I would say Geoff at ministeam is the best guy to by from but I think forest give forum members a dicount so that could save you a bit.

Steamyman has one too and if you do a search on this forum you should be able to find a couple of vids of his running.
