Thanks! Don't forget mine hasn't got a chain drive, the drive wheels are 
connected directly to the motor flange.

How about eggs? :-)

I used a compressor similar to yours, and an industrial pressure switch. The 
swith is now set at 1,5 bar, but has an upper limit of 10 bar. Also I added 
a blow off valve that releases the air from the pressure tank when the 
system is switched off. It is a solenoid normally opened valve. Pictures and 
explanation in english are posted at my site www.commandojurre.nl 'update 
speelgoedtank' page, about half way down. Hit the cowboy for the english 
explanation.
