we don't call them toy trains for a reason! its model trains ;)

They are made as toys, not models. The price should tell you that.  ::)
Hush you  :P

Well, they are. This is the reason for things like the engines' handrails being molded to their boilers, and the toy-style packaging, because they have to pass US toy safety standards. If they were sold as models it would be different.

As for your comment about Harvey, he is based on a real engine with a crane that size. It's fatter on his toys than on his show model.

Would Diesel 10's claw clear loading gauge if it was in the at rest position (lying flat on his roof)?

Anyway, I personally would like to have a model representation of him without having to go the expensive route of importing a Class 42 to bash. But really, this is out of our hands. If the company feels there is sufficient demand to cost-justify producing and selling him, it will happen. Forum petitions like this one are usually mere nickels and dimes next to the market surveys, although they might put certain items on the survey radar.

Eh, if that's the case then, I'd consider Hornbys cheaper models toys. :P

although, if bachmann did come out with D10, they might adapt the moving eyes system to make his claw 'pinchy' move up and down :)
BRING BACK THE 425!!!!!

or open and close

This would almost involve a second motor, but how could it be incorporated with a controller/transformer?

I was hoping that Diesel 10 would be shot down by now..

If his claw moved up and down, that'd be even MORE out of Loading Gauge...  ::)

you can run more than one engine (or motor in this case) on one transformer

What he meant RBMN was that there would be no buttons on a controller to operate the claw.

or maybe just make it posable like the BANDI ones

That's it. I agree with you completely. I wouldn't expect him awhile for obvious reasons, especially the issue we have been discussing.

i know but what i was trying to say was, hook it up to the motor like they did for the moving eyes

yeah but the bottom half of his claw is right in front of the windows, so you only half to worry about the top half.

That's still pretty bad. It wouldn't fit on most layouts. If it was on a layout too and moving up and down, a tunnel or low bridge would knock it down.

just forget my earlier idea :-[.
anyways, if he was produced with the claw lying in rest position, emily's funnel is taller than the picture i posted before.
or you can lower the claw a little ??? :o :)
