Anyway, have plans for a better one, this time using the large pneumatic
cylinders, but will wait until I get more BBB wheels cause I dont want to
take this one apart.
Let me know what you think, including any suggestions for improving the
functionality/looks of Big Blue

Hey David, very awesome! :-) I especially like the way youve secured the
cylinders, is it strong? Also, pretty neat idea to stop the air at the front
using the lever stick.
About the slipping, how about putting rubber bands on the driver wheels? Or
would it cause the cylinders to stall?
I actually tried building a pneumatic loco using the large cylinders some time
ago: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1578983 The wheels
solution sucked though, they were too wide, so I could only have a two wide
support, so the axles bended a lot. :-/
I guess I might have to buy some BBBwheels if I decide to try again.
Thanks for posting this, its really inspiring! :-)
