All the cylinders that came with my JCB, and those illustrated in the
instructions were all-yellow. The exra cylinder I ordered from the spares
service came with a black cap which annoyed me a bit at the time (I was a
lot younger).
The instructions also show the 4.5V motorisation, with, as far as my memory
serves, the original rounded motor and battery box. I bought my set when it
first came out in 1989.
Why did they change the cylinders at all? I would have thought making them
all one colour was more in keeping with real life.
