My solution to insufficent air pressure generation was to replace the gear motor
in my triple compressor with one of the motors from the R/C buggy. It works
brilliantly. Instead of adding compressors, I simply run the ones I have faster.
The advantages of this design are
Size (it's quite small)
cost (only three compressors needed)
simplicity (relatively few parts and it doesn't have the dual motor problem)
It does help to run it off a train controller of course.
