I forgot to mention that I did try 16t gears across, instead of 8t in the centre
and 24t on the ends, and it did run.  Unfortunately, not alotta torque and the
compressor stalled at what I consider to be pretty low air pressure.

I'll post the MLCad file somewhere if anyone wants to download it--I'm using a
pretty old parts file--it doesn't have the RC motor or a few other pieces, so I
substituted as best I could.

I used it (slightly modified) for running my new 'steam' engine, 'Big Blue'-- (URL) issue is, as pointed out by CSSOH, the cylinder (...)
