The S50 was an eBay purchase, which "ran on air". After receiving it, it indeed ran on air at around 40 psi. The timing was off, and made nearly permanently so by placement of a set screw. Some fiddling with stroke length of valve and port facing and I was able to get it to run on minimal pressure, and now it is self-starting with no real issues. The boiler was bought separately (ebay) and required a respray. Pipe work is PM, as is the valve, whistle and lubricator. PM is threaded at 40 UST and required tapping bushes to suit.
The pump is a PM unit, and is attached to a water tank of my own build. Made of remnants of a customer's copper mailbox, donated when an errant delivery person ran it down after leaving a package. I salvaged quite a bit of sheet copper and though some of it is creased it has value.
The sad looking chuff pot is also of my own design, and I give great respect to you craftsman who make this particular job look easy.
