Talk to GRS, they had a couple in stock a few months ago. They also did an modification kit when they first came out (think it was to improve the gastank.)
well if you fancy a live steamer -this may be a golden opportunity for you
if the price and condition are right
i heartily recommend the frank s
goes on R1, fully compatible with LGB stock
and despite any fluff you may hear-these are easy to run, easy to maintain and easy to repair-and not much hassle after the first few goes
jet must be clean to operate well
do a search and there are some very informative articles on the engine and how to make it run easily
i paid 1100 US for a dead mint never run model with all the goodies-which is right in the area of the other quotes
parts are available from the us aster dealer -but to my understanding all are easy to come by by other means and makers-ie gaskets can be made from a bit of new currency (perfect paper for the job) o rings etc can also be found-as can jets and hoses
