Those are nice models of the 9.5 inch model air pump. Seldom does one see the lifting eye at the top. The other major missing items are the steam cylinder drain cocks, the automatic oil cup for the steam cylinder, both with their related plumbing.
The big ticket item is the nice cast look Westinghouse builders plate. That can be obtained from Robert Dustin after I sent him the artwork from a full size original pump to work with.
A dummy pump governor with insulated steam supply lines really tops off the pump installation.
Few bother to include the exhaust steam line forward along the boiler to where it would elbow into the smokebox shell for the finest in detail.
Another seldom seen detail is the piston rod swab easily simulated by glue up of a couple of O rings in a stack. Then wrap with some heavy crochet thread to simulate the hand wrapped swab that is a signature item on the full size pumps.
The air filter going in and the compressed air line going out to the main reservoir is also seldom modeled.
With all of the above noted details, one can have a dummy installation that sure looks real.

My dummy pump.
They do add a lot to the looks of a locomotive.
Rwmorris was fortunate to nap the single stage pump above!
