Very cool modification Mike, well done. Did you create the claw yourself and make from a mold? I do find a couple of odd things though... I don't think I have seen this version of Diesel 10 with the holes in his wheels. I notice things like that because I hate when Trackmaster started using those holes. Is there something wrong with his front ride wheel as it doesn't seem to touch the track.

I think you should mass produce the claw for our Diesel 10 models
Making Customs, Filming Videos and looking for the purest engines. That's how I roll here on Blue Plastic Tracks.

I did make the pinchy my self, they too valuable to harvest from a TNA D10. You are one sharp eyed observer Super. I put a AA battery in it instead of a C in hopes that it would go faster.

Are you going to be selling the claws separate or add them to a regular Diesel 10 and then selling them?

hi pgm,

pinchy looks great! are the same size as the tna ones?

can you please advise if you would sell the claw seperately and the dimensions? i have a friend wanting to make a custom HO scale D10 and is looking at buying a bandai simply to remove the claw. yours would be a better option, and likely cheaper as well, never mind it would save a rare bandai from being scrapped.

Sunhuntin, the claws are copies of the TNA D10, and very difficult to reproduce. It takes alot of time and materials to produce a single claw, for every one claw that looks decent, I throw three away, air bubbles, inconsistent color and so on.

If I can find the right technique which allows me not to waste so much materials, I guess I could sell them.

Thanks to every one who have responded to this post. PGM

I agree PGM, those look really good. Color and quality look to be close to factory. For air bubbles are you using a pressure pot for casting? I have tried by hand a time or two I. Resin casting and recently converted a pressure paint take from Harbor freight into a pressure casting pot. This definitely helped with the bubbles, but I need to work on the molds themselves a bit more. And unfortunately need more time to hone this craft. :-)
