Well here's the wee thing that i picked up yesterday. I had it running last night and she goes a treat! It has a nice little re-fillable gas tank and takes about 12ml water and runs beautifully for about three minutes. It hasn't been cleaned up yet but I run it agan soon (with the camera out) and then polish her up

Very very nice,  Amazing to think something so small really works.
Other nice thing is it doesnt take up much room and easy to display -find getting to be a problem
