Devious Diesel - A Test Run

[kedwards]

Diesel has spent several weeks in the Stoke Prior works. He's now been let out onto the main line for extensive testing.

That's a lot of wagons to entrust to someone who is allegedly devious

Looking forward to the film now.

Bit shifty eyed that devious diesel. Max

Very Nice

Just wondering if anyone has come across a more realistic 3D printed replacement grille for the diesel.
I am just about to receive miine thanks to a really good deal with Amazon and will be converting it to battery R/C very soon.

As (I think?) you can get them without the face I would imagine a spare part should be available from Bachmann.

I'll bet somebody has 3D printed one - in fact someone on this forum 3D printed two models of the entire loco

Dumb question #1 of the day - wouldn’t that count as a copyright infringement?

In the UK (not sure about ROW) can copyright a registered trade name but not a shape. If you were to copy the actual molding then you would only have to make minor alterations, say motor block mounts, to be in the clear. Max

Yebbut, sorry, I didn't mean that they'd 3D printed Devious, they'd done an 09 (or 08 )

I am thinking of adding the side doors/hatches to give DD a bit more personality. I'll leave the face, though: Me public demands it.
