Product Description
All aboard the next stop along the learning curve . . . kids three and up will enjoy the magical adventures of the ever-popular Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway System. Featuring characters from the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends video series and the Thomas and the Magic Railroad feature film now out on video, this system allows children to re-enact their favorite Thomas tales or create new adventures of their own. Besides encouraging imagination, wooden train-play helps kids develop motor and social skills. The Thomas Wooden Railway System is designed to grow along with kids' increasing skills, offering years of enjoyable play and new adventures around each and every bend. Straight from the movie, Thomas and the Magic Railroad, it's Diesel 10! A renegade diesel engine on The Island of Sodor who is 10 out of 10 for brutal strength and devious deeds. He and his claw are out to destroy the harmony of Sir Topham Hatt's Railway. For use with Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway System sets (sold separately).
Editorial Review
Good is always balanced with evil, and in the case of the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Diesel 10 is a truly icky bad guy. Teamed with sidekicks Splatter and Dodge, Diesel 10 is a renegade engine on the Island of Sodor out to destroy the harmony of Sir Topham Hatt's Railway. To intensify this train's nastiness, Diesel 10--on a scale of 1 to 10--is rated 10 for devious deeds and brutal strength. Measuring 4.25 inches long, Diesel 10 has two sets of wheels that swivel, helping this extra-long train negotiate the tracks. Equipped with a mischievous expression, Diesel 10 is pea green and--just like in the movie--has a claw-like arm on top to help create havoc. As with all Thomas the Tank Engine Learning Curve products, Diesel 10 is made of hard maple and has two magnets on each end to allow your child to expand their set. --Diane Tuman

 Kids love it February 18, 2008
My son wanted this after he saw the Thomas movie about the magic railroad. Even though the character is evil - they enjoy taking turns playing him. The pincher doesn't open but does have a little movement and is plastic. Hopefully it will survive the sons!

The infamous Diesel #10 February 24, 2005
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Thomas fans who have seen Thomas and the Magic Railroad probably are familiar with Diesel #10. For those who haven't seen the movie, Diesel #10 is an evil diesel who hates steam engines and wants to find the lost steam engine so he can put an end to all the other steam engines. Little kids will have a great time making up their own adventures or creating the original movie plot with this toy. I would highly suggest this toy for little Thomas fans.
 I've Got To Agree On the Claw January 20, 2005

We also have a Thomas fanatic in our home and while we've been watching all the video/dvd's for months, I held out on the movie because someone told me it was terrible. (PS: It's pretty terrible, but your Thomas fan will love it so be prepared to watch it 100's of times ughh). Where was I, oh yeah...my son LOVES the Thomas movie and LOVES Diesel and Lady so I ordered both for his birthday. He was so excited when he opened his present and realized it was Diesel, however that quickly turned to concern when the first thing out of his mouth was "Mom, he's broken, the claw doesn't bite or move up and down".
I don't know why LC designed Diesel this way since the fact that Diesel's claw can move up and down and bite is such a HUGE part of the Thomas movie. Regardless my son took him quickly to the Island of Sodor (his train table) and played with him for the rest of the night. He wouldn't trade Diesel in for anything, but Diesel won't get 5 stars because I think his designer made a boo-boo by not making him more true to his character in the movie.
Diesel (and Lady) is still an important edition to your train set though if your little one is a fan of the Thomas movie.
Diesel's Claw is pretty cool February 14, 2004

Diesel 10 was introduced in Thomas and the Magic Railroad and his claw goes backwards and fowards. It's fun to have him chase Thomas and Lady along the Track. He can also pull coaches and cars. He is good with Splatter, Dodge, and Lady. All the Thomas trains are very durable and they work perfectly.
