John, for a start, what is it to drive?
That will give a reasonable guide to the power required, and secondly, what
space is available.?
There are a number of engines available, but without knowing something of
your requirements, it is hard to make suggestions.
Once the engine has been roughly decided, then is the time to move on to the
boiler.
Oh, and welcome to the list.

I have looked at the SBA web site and would like to go up to Windermere in
October for the steam boat museum open weekend.
I would also like to know the alternative boilers i could chose to make and
