That is a chugger unit for American Flyer 3/16 pre war O Tenders. The cast cylinders are not available as reproductions. You'll need to find a junker tender or someone selling the whole unit complete. Be sure to carefully inspect the casting for cracking from zinc pest. Be sure there is a small tabbed piece attached to the outside of the cylinder that hangs inside the square hole on the side as it is the sound maker and is easily broken off. The leather piston can be softened by soaking for a few hours in boot oil. Doug has complete units available. The tender that ruffled Lionel's feathers was the remote whistle tender paired with the 314AW K5 in S gauge.
