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.
A suggestion for the Thomas board. Fights seen to start easily here and it just doesn't look good on the forum, so can we please stop them occuring? Anyway when you think about, it's pretty silly because anyone involved is fighting about a model train range based on a children's show!

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.

Mulfred

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.

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.

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.
