Sorry, badly-worded by me; the Lionel stuff is regauged, the modifications to the Playmobil stuff is more to the bodywork rather than the chassis, which have proved to be very reliable so far.
What's Happened To Devious Diesel?

That's a very interesting shot, thanks for sharing. Genuinely a bit surprised; I'd have expected the exact same chassis under all the 0-6-0's to save costs, with bodywork of Diesel bodged a little to fit, proportions-wise.
Probably, depends what you had in the glasses, and how many of them you had.To my eye, the Bachmann large scale diesels, appear to either be too long, or not tall enough?
But it could be these glasses!

Quick tip, 16 pints of lager, and your stock count doubles
Indeed so but less of a problem, though I would as indeed you do lay even where possible.

They are made to almost but not quite Gauge 3 track scale I reckon.To my eye, the Bachmann large scale diesels, appear to either be too long, or not tall enough?

I have added new radiator grill bonnet hatches , handrails ,door catches, exhaust ports , sand boxes windscreen wipers and lights . It has Massoth L decoder and runs very well with it . Lights are LEDs . Also it has no issue with radius 1 curves or point work . 
I'm really liking the look of that modified Paxton!
I bought a Diesel this week from Frizinghall Models; much as I like Diesel as a character (rooting for the baddies?), he's going to be undergoing a bit of surgery after-testing. Like some other people, I'll be doing the missing doors, bonnet vents and such, and having a go at adding wasp-stripes too.

Is this a vendor or a UKism for bespoke or something? The upgrade does look great1!
Yes attacking the window surrounds hand painting can be a real pain. My thoughts may be to use iron wire as used for flower arranging, easily bent and shaped as a glue in piece for each window. Tedious to do but would look very fine. Also I see a lot of possibilities for the rear cab end and perhaps the front. There are lots of wire runs on the real thing. just search for some pictures in google.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone eho was having issues is still trying to get a hold of any Bachmann stock. I Could ship from the US, if someone is interested.
I'd love to have more of these, myself, but they don't fit my theme. Toby is enough of an exception. (Though, of they ever come out with a LS Mavis..)
