Giving Diesel 10 a removable, but posable, claw would be ideal if it is an issue for NMRA standards. I just know how positively the community would react if he was announced, and he would absolutely be one of the best selling models Bachmann has ever produced. Bachmann, the money is on the table. I'm patiently standing by to pre-order. Diesel 10 would absolutely be a wise decision for a newly tooled locomotive.
As for Harvey, I agree it would be acceptable to omit the moving eye mechanism for a posable crane arm. I think Bachmann should get further away from the moving eye gimmick as it only complicates the mechanisms and puts more strain on the models. The same applies for Diesel 10.
