Class 42 Warship D832 "Onslaught" at Paddington (left photo: C.L.Caddy) and basis for Diesel-10 (right)
Introduced in the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000), Diesel 10 is based on the Class 42 Type 4 “Warship” diesel hydraulic locomotives first put into BR operation in 1958, naturally sans hydraulic ‘claw’! Below is a short clip of the preserved "Onslaught" pictured above in not-so-terrifying action coursing through Williton in 2009. D832 can be seen today in operation at the West Somerset Railway in the U.K.

Although no model of Diesel-10 is known to exist in model railway circles, Bachmann Trains offers a few Class 42 Warships in their UK Product line. |

Fandom's Corner
In the absence of any 00 gauge version of D-10 being available, UK site visitor J. Souter took the initiative to customize his own - in his words: I just used a normal Class 42 Warship, just painted the body, sculped the face myself out of modelling clay, and then just made up "Pinchy". |
J. Souter shares a photo of his customized Diesel-10 - with our many thanks :) |
