I have finished the webpage for my JCB JS220 Excavator model and placed it
online here :-
http://www.genuinemodels.com/
The model is pneumatic/electric and is operated by a separate hand controller
which also contains the pneumatic pump and pressure cutoff switch. Purists will
hopefully forgive me for my previous indiscretions since this model is 100%
Lego!
