Try Buzzs Boatyard http://www.buzzboats.com/poppop.htm

I notice that some have a coil of tubing to be the boiler and some boats had a chamber with a bimetallic lid that flexes as it is steamed. The Pop Pop boiler is available separately too, I see them on Ebay frequently. I assume though that if one had trouble fonding a replacement boiler, that a newer Pop Pop could be cannibalized for one.

Both Titanics, (for Andrew) and the Cruise Boat.

Should be fun.  The Jacuzzi looks about the right size for these.

Wonder how long it takes Buzz to ship one out, I suspect that I should be getting mine soon.
