Does anyone know of a supplier who might have some smokebox castings for a Merlin Little Wonder?

Sounds like that's going to be quite some struggle to track down!

Merlin was a company that produced live steam engines in the 1980's in Wales-I think. The 'Little Wonder' was one of their egines. However I've been told by reliable sources that the one thing you should never do in garden railway's is buy a Merlin.

Well from what I've been told is that Merlin's are a bit like Alfa Romeo. They look good, but they are designed to be the best an loco can be, briefly.
