It's exciting to see so many steam engines come to life!!

I wonder how they ran on compressed air?

Instead of filling the boiler with water and having a fire in the firebox to make steam, they simply filled the boiler with compresses are from an external air compressor (probably about 150psi).

Just plumb a big storage tank into the engine and pull it along on a flatbed?

Nope.
