"So Mr Bauer, what exactly was your role?"

"Well, I had already built a diesel engine that could move by itself, so when Walkins met me and saw my plans, that was the missing link in the chain for him."

"His prototype was appropriately named Diesel 0; but interestingly, he couldn't run for more than six hours. Why was that?"

"The device I had made was primitive, so it wasn't the greatest thing ever. Diesel 0 did actually work well during the six hours he could run, though."

"There was also that acceleration bug" Walkins informed.
"What do you mean?" The host asked.

"Diesel 0 couldn't accelerate as well as other diesels. That's why he would go at slower speeds when doing he's jobs."

"He also couldn't come to a steady stop; he always stopped suddenly." Bauer added
"Well folks, Diesel 0 has a new home right here on Sodor, but as we've seen in a recent article, the prototype APS that started it all... In Bauer's own words is a "rust cake" now. Forgive the pun, but are Diesel 0's self driving days numbered?" The host asked.

"No," said D'Levin, "because I experiment in my free time, so I will most definitely try to create a better APS, or something to that extent, for Diesel 0."

"So after Walkins got the plans, work could proceed. Take us back to the beginning to Diesel One; what happened?"

"Well, it was a success, and afterwards, I was able to work on the others."

"So this was the phase one diesels then?"

"Correct. By the way, though, I've actually answered all this before, in a radio documentary during the 90s, and an accompanying book, too. Also, D'Levin here is writing a book about it as well, and is giving away three copies of it." "That's right. The first three to call me after the show is over get a free book with our signatures on it."

"Yes, quite true. So I guess let's talk about somethings the books don't really go into. The phase one Diesels, we know what they are, but little about then. What can you tell us about them in terms of personality?" The host asked

"It's interesting, all three have sort of the same personality, they're all helpful, kind, and friendly."

"So would it be accurate to say Diesel 1 and Diesel 2 are twins in the same vein as Donsld and Douglas are?"
|
|
|
Post by Biblically Accurate Angel on Mar 22, 2016 12:13:22 GMT -5
"I wouldn't say twins, but definitely, you'd think of all three as siblings more than the others."

"Did Diesel 3 ever feel left out? He was always in the shunting yard while 1 and 2 went off from place to place with goods."

"You would have to ask him yourself, but from what I know, they were always like the Three Musketeers - 'all for one, and one for all'."
