I have a set of castings and drawings etc for that engine, and have done some preliminary drawing work on it.
I dont know if you are aware but if you build the boiler to the original drawings it will more than likely not pass a modern boiler test as the design is not relevant any more.

I have done a bit of work to redesign the boiler and based the design principles on the one used on the 1½ scale Allchin Royal Chester, that should be OK as most club boiler inspectors are familiar with the design and should have no problems passing it.
Mine will be a long term project that will not even start for a few years the way other projects are going.
