Have been thinking about getting and building a model steam engine, something small to get me started. Has anyone else done this is Leinster area?

I have had a few steam engines, and steam models.
I currently have a Meccano/Triang single cylinder 1970's steam horizontal engine which has powered several models.

so is it just a matter of buying a kit? I'm facinated just to see (and manufacture) a small working engine.
