That is really a nice unit, I don’t think you would need to run it at the speed on the video  :-) , but that that would be more than enough to power your model, and it comes with the revering lever and displacement lubricator makes it a very good value plant. For the boiler and all, a small pot type boiler heated by a meths burner would work, but look at at pendle steam as they will be able to supply all you require, and will also be able to answer any questions you have and give you help and advice
(Just to say I have no connection to pendle steam it is my own personal recommendation)
Hope this helps
