The 3-way valve may allow water to be sucked out the bottom of the separator too.

530 forum posts 89 photos	Partially agree with Steve re just missing the boiler etc which obviously would have been a larger seperate unit - so perhaps it was just split up some time back? I have looked closely at the photos and feel that it is well built and original - look at the close up photo of the cross head assembly and note the oil channels underneath - a nice quality touch. The description on the site seems pretty comprehensive and it is quite an unusual engine in the complexity for a large model of this type. The price seems a little high, but saying that its a bit of a one-off, and as such will attract a premium. I for one would gladly give it house room if I had the chance. Regards
