Thought I'd make a thread for Diesel i'm sure everyones fav evil diesel on sodor. Any news, comments, thoughts even feelings in the run up to bachmann Diesel's release.
I hope Bachmann gives him a sinister face, not one of those pansy smiles you see him with in the newer seasons.
Either sinister or devious.
Oh yeah, "devious" was the word I was looking for! ("Sinister" sounds too dark for Thomas & Friends.)
Hopefully Bachmann would use this face (or something close to it).

I concur
He will probley be smiling so he doesn't scare kids, thats one reason his personality is so different now.
i personnaly think the bachmann Diesel will be a "Fail" because the cab is most likely going to be closed, the face will either be his really happy face or his CGI face, the side rods will (99%) be black because bachmann is now being "up to date" (look at D&D's nameplates and u'll see what i mean) and the buffers wont be sprung like on mine, so i most likely will get the bachmann diesel but slap on a RWS face and paint the buffers silver becasue if it looks like how i just described it here, there will be NOOOOO chance it will be a model running around my layout for more than 5 minitues :(
Personally I hope he looks a bit like this.

I agree 100%. ;D
Its just pure evil diesel doing what he dose best.
What episode is that from? But Diesel isn't entirely good in the newer ones look at him in this pic...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vh1BEkPH_A
Its also good music.
its from Diesel dose it again. Which as soon as Bachmann release him I'm going to be making a remake of it on my youtube channel.
Thats cool! :o But like I said Diesel is still that a little Devious from the good old days.
Oh yeah he is still devious

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. (sigh) Oh well.
Maybe they could use this face:
(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100225145925/ttte/images/f/fc/DieselDoesitAgain36.png)
He's smiling, so it wouldn't scare kids, and it still shows a hint of deviousness.
Its not really devious but still better than anything CGI.
Whats 'Devious Diesel' with out his devious face? Diesel, but on DOTD, Diesel kidnaps Thomas, so yeah. Maybe he is going back to his old ways.
Hopefully. I want to see Duck and Diesel in an episode like the old days. It sounds weird saying Old Days.

You know, concerning Diesel, on the Facebook groups, "We Want BACHMANN DUCK, OLIVER, AND TOAD FOR 2011" and "Bachmann Thomas and Friends", I've posted a mediocre MS Paint Custom of Diesel. (I Painted over a Bachmann UK Class 08 shunter)
The only thing i really hope Bachmann gets right is the wheels on the inside and the side rods on the outside like the real TV series model.

well i think the face on diesel needs to be gust right
Says in a very Diesel way Good Morning. :P
It's great to see bachmann making another classic character. :D (Hope they don't forget any major details) Anyways, now that they are making Diesel, this means they could potentially release an HO model of Arry & Bert. That would be brilliant. 8)
and Splatter, Dodge, Sydney and Paxton ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
what does sydney look like
a blue class 08 with a red buffer beam and wasp strips coming out from the bottom of his/her face dont know by th name lol :P

So 7 Diesels looking like Devious Diesel that is really mixing it up HiT :P She doesnt even look like a girl looks more like a Joe or Butch
She's a "he", guys. Sidney can be a boy's name, too. Besides, what kind of a girl would be nicknamed "Sid"? Also, the Thomas Wiki says he's male, and the TTTE wiki always has the final word. :P

I knew a girl in school called Sidney, and she prefered to be called Sid. Infact I think everyone called her that. It suited her sunny personality :P Thats what kind of girl is nicknamed Sid. ;)
He's a male.
thank you guys this helps me because eventually i have to make every engine, (if you havent heard it lately :P, my dream is to model of sodor) and HiT isnt making this destiny any easier by bringing all these new engines ::) lol but i would need to look for a boy or girl to voice HIM

Actually, Sid can be a nickname for a girl. I know of a girl, not personally, who is called Sid by the people who know here. I also have a 3rd cousin named Sidney who goes by Sid.
In defense of the TTTE wiki, they quickly undo every false edit made to their site. They deal with a lot of that, but still bring the best info to the table. Sometimes, they beat out SiF.

From up to down they are Den, Dart, Paxton and Norman.
But can we please go back to talking about HO Diesel?
Thank you and good idea. ;)
So do you guys think he will be released around the same time as D&D or later?
I think it's likely Diesel will be released later than Donald and Douglas. Using past years as assumptions I reckon the US won't get him (at least) until November.
Sorry for going back to talking about DOTD, but it looks like salty and mavis are bad guys (and girl), just look at ttte wikia, the DOTD article photo!
I was watching some season 6 episodes the other day and noticed that from Season 6 his side rods are black.
(http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/mulfred1/TheWorldsStrongestEngine40.jpg)
I hope bachmann makes Diesel with the white side rods like the original in the TV series.

Actually, I believe his side rods were silver (as in unpainted metal) in the TV Series.

ok silver then
I reckon Diesel will have the black side-rods since Bachmann base the newer HO characters from their recent appearance in the model series.

Some of the diesels in DOTD aren't bad. I know Paxton isn't, and I don't think Dart is either, so I'm guessing that Salty and Mavis aren't actually against the steamies, but they're just a little p-oed that their works aren't really getting any attention. But the Dieselworks confuses me because plenty of diesels go to the Steamworks.
I bet the photo SodorAdventures is referring to is the one on the cover of the DVD.. same lineup of engines was also used on the "Ultimate Diesel Guide" too. I think it's just showing off the various diesels from all ends of the good vs bad spectrum. I do not think however that Salty and Mavis (currently the only good diesels on Sodor) will be involved with the nasty diesel's tricks. But with HiT, you never know..
AS for HO Diesel, I'd like to see him with black coupling rods. Side rods. Whatever. It is his current look one fan, and I think they make him look more oily and stealthy. I would like to see his mold remade into Arry and Bert, but I imagine it would be some time before Bachmann could properly duplicate and modify the mold...
Oh, and Diesel should be smiling. or have that neutral scowl we all love ^^
Well this is the Diesel Thread I see nothing wrong with talking about Day of the Diesels (DOTD). So how many Diesels are there now in this movie?
Diesel, Mavis, Arry and Bert, Diesel 10, Salty, Den, Dart, Sidney, Paxton, Norman. 11!!!
And don't forget they still don't have....
Splatter, Dodge, Daisy, Derek, BoCo, The Diesel (from Bowled Out), Rusty, Dennis, etc...
Thats alot of diesels.
But maybe HiT should introduce more diesels, cuz think about it how many steam trains do you see now adays? Not alot. Thats why they bring diesels to show a little modernization.
Apparently, Norman is Dennis' twin brother, so we can expect Dennis to eventually return. I think we can also expect Daisy, Boco, and the other diesels that were included in the Ultimate Diesel Guide. Them being mentioned shows that they aren't forgotten. ALSO, some of the diesels in the guide are included in current magazine stories (for example, the Bowled Out diesel was included in a 2010 story; Dennis and Boco were seen in a magazine story from 2008 I believe).
So who is your favorite new character from DOTD? For me its either Sidney or Paxton. They look cool and who doesn't love the 08s? (this question is for everyone)
Why do I get the feeling I'm gonna have to change the name of this thread? :(
Why change it? We are still discussing Diesels whats wrong with that? And I wouldn't mind if the side rods were Black or Silver.
It's just that the whole point of this thread was to discuss thoughts on the upcoming Bachmann HO model of Devious Diesel, not for any other diesels of that same class that aren't being made.
Exactly I mean people wouldn't like it if I started talking about Bash and Dash on the scotish twin thread. HO Diesel talk, if its not related take it some place else.

BUT the thread is called Diesel Thread. If it was called HO Devious Diesel Thread, that would be totally different. All the conversation that's been going on in this thread is related to the topic. It's no big deal. If it bothers you that bad, change the name of the thread to something that permits talk of only the upcoming release of Bachmann's Devious Diesel. Otherwise, just let us talk about diesels like the title say we can.
Yeah Diesel thread. If i wanted to talk about any other diesel I'd have made a Day of the Diesel thread. Seriously! Just respect the thread please.

It's still no big deal that we talk about other diesels in a diesel thread. If it's such a big problem, it'll be taken care of.
If this was for other diesels, I'd think it was called the "Diesels Thread". Maybe the title will have to be changed.
Now, back to Diesel, I recieved my 2011 Bachmann catalogue and it listed its price at US$77, the same price as Donald and Douglas. I think that's rather too much, what do you think?
It dose sound expensive but I think you'll be able to get him cheaper elsewere. I'm not to worried becuase I'm in the UK. so it I'll probbaly be able to get him for about £30 compared to the hornby price which is around £50. Bachmann rule.
Quote from: Jamie the engine on March 23, 2011, 05:04:28 AMI think that's rather too much, what do you think?
When you compare the range to standard models, you do get a fair bit more in the value department. $77 isn't too bad for a RTR model.

I was never going to get diesel 'till he was announced but I'm so going to get him when he comes out in wa and when I have money I was also never going to get stepney 'till last sunday his hornby model is so awesome I would reccomend him to anyone even if they collect bachmann stuf same go's for hornby's "the night mail" set and the bachmann terrence is awesome so same go's for him too

i never heard about that. well thats weird.
Has anyone heard any updates about the Bachmann Diesel? Maybe has a prototype photo surfaced? I am quite excited for this model, but the tension is starting to get annoying.
So its been 3 days or so since the first Diesel came to light. Personally I like the over all look, the only thing that puts me off is the CGI face. But he looks like 1 day he could transition into the Large scale range.

Regarding a prototype pic, as you may know, there's one on Page 3 of the HO Thomas & Friends trains. Also, the picture is on the TTTE Wikia.

@CaptainJackSparrowfan98: lol
Now regarding Diesel, maybe his face won't be exactly like the prototype picture. After all, one of Sodoradventures' videos shows Donald and Douglas at the WGH train show in February and their faces don't look exactly like the prototype pictures.
yes they do. they just look different because of the camera angle.
Yeah, they look the same. I saw them in person and they look exactly like the prototype pictures. His camera made it look different.
Oh, i see.

Beautiful model. I now have 5 models on my list. (I still haven't purchased Bill and Ben. ::))
i like the new diesel but like everyone not the face so much.
now i have to get him and all of the rest of the recent engines
I like the new Diesel model too. I think it's the first model from Bachmann which has more details than the Hornby model. I wish he has a strong motor. I think the Hornby face isn't much better than the Bachmann one. But you're all right: it isn't the best face. Bachmann should make different faces wich you could change.
I disagree. Almost all of Bachmann's models have more TV Series details than Hornby's models. I guess you could say Hornby has more RWS accurate details than Bachmann.
That's what I did mean. ;)
My opinion on Diesel is that it is simply amazing. In all honesty I can't imagine it without the picture and another thing I think the CGI face is quite fitting. Plus its detail is amazing so Bachmann thank you. Although if the picture is only a prototype and the face does become a classic I will be just as satisfied if not more. ;)

Right. According to the new items flyer, it said Diesel will be released sometime in November
