I have just completed the steam engine 'Tosca' from plans bought on the internet. Does anyone know of a supplier of an appropriate boiler for this model.

We need to know what railroad and vintage in order to help! The name "Tosca" is no identification at all.

It's a stationary engine rather like the Wilesco, with an oscillating cylinder.

I thought it was a opera by Giacomo Puccini

Mamod (if they still exist (UK)) and Wilesco (germany) steam toys should be available in the UK. AFAIK their boilers are attached to engines to drive Meccano, steamcars etc, but you could tap into the steam pipes. I'm sure Kittle Hobby is still offering Mamod.
There are a number of UK manufacturers of garden railway locomotives (see Railway Modeller ads) They batch build locos and I'm sure they would supply a boiler from their ranges to suit your engine, provided it is a suitable size.

-------------------------------------------------- Hobby Surplus Sales (Amato Hobbies) has Wilesco live steam engines. Don't know if this will help or not:
