Jock The New Engine

I'm making a Diesel with Diesel 10's claw!  He's Diesel 10's american cousin who's come to the Island Of Sodor to finish off what Diesel 10's started.......  Getting rid of steam engines, once and for all!  I'm using an american Diesel from Bachmann for this project.  I've already started on the claw.  It only needs paint now.  It's made with just regular printing paper and a straw.   Also, can someone help me find out how to replace the EZ couplers with the Hook and Loop couplers from Thomas & Friends?   Anyway, pictures will be coming soon!
Jock is my favorite engine now, and in my Thomas world, he works on the Skarloey Railway with Frank, Skarloey, Rheneas, etc. since he & Frank are the only Small Railway engines ever made in Ertl diecast.

Frog Pulling Team Wanted me to put these here.









These aren't mine, Frog Pulling Team just wanted me to post these pictures here when he sent me a message by email.

Diesel 12 Prototype Photos Below















As you can see, I've sawed a little bit of the body to make room for some Hook & Loop Couplers.  I'm thinking on painting Diesel 12 Brown (like the Claw a.k.a. Pinchy 2.0).  The couplings work great if anyone was asking.

u might want to consider using a brass rod for the arm and some styrene for the claw. It's much more durable.

The styrene is good, but not the brass rod, I'd rather prefer having a flexible arm for Diesel 12.

I just think that the straw would be easier than doing that.

If you ever  plan on building an american Model RR you might want to spay the engine of the claw ;)

Well if he wants to turn his Diesel 11 back to a Santa Fe Diesel because of the incident that has happened then I am guessing that's what he should do, that is still pretty upsetting to hear though, maybe he will think about doing something else ;)
