Cheers for the advice, I think I'm gonna go for that kit you linked to.
I had a look about and the only other thing I found was someone selling a sort of new old stock Clarke OA kit that could supposedly be used with propane on ebay. The price was good (half what Machine Mart want for the kit) but having done some more reading it doesn't seem quite as easy as just sticking a propane bottle on an acetylene regulator and torch so I'd probably rather just get the right thing to start with.
Also sort of picking up on the idea that propane is a bit of a safer option than acetylene for the home gamer so I'm reassured by that.

Yep, just the standard orange/red bottle job. You should be able to get it from the hobbyweld stockists (they usually do!).
The hobbyweld oxygen is 9 litres if I remember correctly and not too spendy. The acetylene from them is pricey and Air Products are far cheaper......if you ever need it.
