You could buy a set of castings from Stuarts for that and get the enjoyment of actually building one

Sorry, Jason … I [mis]understood that the Sirius castings were no longer available

Otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered mentioning it.

@ bill … it may be overpriced if you pay what the seller is asking

If I was interested, I would start by pressing the (Make offer) button

Having followed Michaels link I have sent off my £4 12s 6d plus purchase tax, I wonder if I'll get anything in return

It must be good, a steam engine from a smoke free home.

I always worry when you see pipes broken off like that, like it may have been removed in a hurry.

Has there ever been a design for a fabricated one?

Easy enough to fabricate as there are really only two major castings. The crankcase is a bottomless box with the cylinders on top so easily silver soldered together from steel with drop in iron liners. The valve chest at the top can be cut from solid. Discwheel and pistons from Iron bar. Bed and conrods from Aluminium.

Just get a set of drawings for the cast one and take it from there.
