I have only one loco for this table so it will feel a bit lonely here. 
It is a Hornby Stevenson's Rocket.

No I have the burner.
More important than that.

You have got it in one.
The loco I have is the static version, no boiler, but I have this cunning plan.
I managed to get off e-bay a few years ago a bunch of spare parts for the Rocket including the boiler and piston assemblies.
I have also managed to get the burner, Hornby kindly sent me the instuctions free of charge so all I need now is the gas tank.

It is surprising how small the boiler actually is under the outer cover.

| Yes, I hadn't realised that they had a smaller boiler under the outer shell. How long do they run for typically? |

I have never had it running, maybe someone who has the live steam version could answer that.

plenty of boiler lagging then to keep it warm.

Just found out they run for about 10 mins maximum.
