Right. Now I understand. 
You would think that someone would make spares if they are so easily damaged.

Right. I can see there's a big difference.
Need to be careful with mine.

There is a big brass nut dome under the brass cover. The actual steam dome just covers up a nut! Try not to remove the steam dome unless it leaks 
There it is
Thats the steam pipe

Indeed it is SM
As you can guess the MSS one just screws right on the boiler , a lot less hassle really as it is a real steam dome but can be a bit leaky ive not been able to source a washer

Don't PPS supply just the cover ?
That is, under their modifications area, they list this item :-
| Quote: | Turned and polished steam dome
This smart looking dome simply fits over the water-fill valve. It may not improve the performance of your engine, but, along with the brass handrails and brass water-filler tops described above, will improve its looks no end - and every steam engine should have some brass to polish! |
