Airline boiler adaptor help?

I currently have the boiler airline adaptor from the clubs shop because I plan on tinkering with my mallards timing, but however I am confused on what type of air compressor I will need to use? Can anyone point me in the right direction like will any compressor work?

I use a cheap one from a spray painting kit - not perfect, but does the job. It must provide 2bar pressure (most spray painting ones will claim 4bar). Mine is a little short on flow rate, so won't run a model quite as fast as it will go on steam, but that doesn't matter for me to debug/fix locos on my bench.
