I have very little by way of pneumatic stuff; I've mostly avoided sets

Nice thread - I'll have to pick up a Technic Sub to get
a compressor tank (or is there one available cheaper
elsewhere?)  Anyway...

You might want to consider the 8459 (front-end loader) it's only a little more
expensive but has a compressor tank, three large pistons, and two pneumatic
switches, plus a good variety of other technic bits, whereas the sub only has
1 piston and one switch. Besides, it's a damn good model.:)
