Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting on the bachmann forums, so I apologise if this topic has been discussed before.
Since Bachmann are making Diesel this year, I thought I'd ask this question: which diesel do you prefer - Diesel or Diesel 10?
My personal opinon is:
Case for Diesel - He made his debut in Season 2, so he has been around longer than Diesel 10. Furthermore, he was created by the man himself, Rev. W. Awdry whereas Diesel 10 was created by Britt Alcroft. Diesel's colour of black shows he is evil as well as the sneer on his face. Diesel is a regular character on the TV series unlike Diesel 10 who only appears occasionally in specials. However, Diesel is smaller than the main line engines Gordon, Henry and James and therefore wouldn't likely to be as intimidating. Also, Diesel is only meant to be a shunter engine.
Case for Diesel 10 - He made his debut in Thomas and the Magic Railroad. Diesel 10 is a much larger engine than Diesel and has a claw named pinchy. This makes him look much more intimidating than Diesel and is also much stronger. In addition, his evil sneer looks more scarier than Diesel's sneer. Both steam engines and diesel engines alike are scared of him. However, he can show a good side at times.
What do you lot think?
