I am building a "Katie" and like the idea of testing the mechanics before fitting the boiler. Any suggestions of which air compressor to use?

Mike,
I don't think it matters, as long as you can make a connection to somewhere like the safety valve bush.
Any compressor capable of delivering around 30psi should do.
I've used an airbrush type from Aldi on my Victory.
 
It probably won't matter too much, as a chassis on blocks will only need a small amount of pressure and low volume of air to get it it move.

An inflated car in car tube would probably suffice, as the boiler has a working pressure of 60psi I wouldn't recommend using any more than that.
