The IHC Pacific appears to be modeled after the USRA light pacific design.  The blob on the left side of the locomotive is the air compressor.   I would look into acquiring a Model Railroader Cyclopedia  Vol 1 Steam Locomotives.  It has diagrams of the various steam locomtive appliances and related piping, explains what they do and differences between the different types.  Page 137 has a photo of a Harriman (common standard) UP 4-6-2.   You could also look into: <a href="http://www.steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=USA&wheel=4-6-2&railroad=up">http://www.steamlocomotive.com/locobase.php?country=USA&wheel=4-6-2&railroad=up</a> Steam locomotive dot com (the above linked site) also has links and descriptions of the different steam locomotive appliances (cant find air systems though). These dont appear to be available online, but may be worth looking into: <a href="http://uphs.org/resources/library/engines-locomotives/">http://uphs.org/resources/library/engines-locomotives/</a>
