    Try talking to your local club, most clubs have notice boards with for sale adds on them and you should get some sound advise from people in th know!

    Better still, if you are not already a member, join your local club. They can offer advice, contacts, boiler testing, track etc.
    Though I have to say some clubs are friendlier than others and if you have the choice visit them all to see what goes on
