I'm thinking of buying one of these boilers with 40psi Safety valve, Water Gauge and top up valve. Can anyone pass on their experience with this item please?

Without hesitation I can say, go for it. The best boiler for a small Mamod type oscillator loco I have ever seen. I'm currently putting one on an MSS loco for someone at the moment.

I bought the PPS copper boiler which was rated to 60psi working pressure.
Best. Boiler. Ever. I understand RWM does them to 45psi but regardless, I have no qualms in highly recommending them. Buy it.

Excellent quality and great service from Roy so I can also recommend them.

Having only a Dream Steam version I can't comment, however with Roy's excellent quality I seriously doubt you'll go wrong with one!

I have one and they are excellent quality but the rubber o rings for the fittings were fitted to mine were too soft so I just fitted instead some fibre o rings, easy fix.
