To which diesels are you referring?

I'm waiting for some.

Well, perhaps you should look at it from a sales perspective.

Diesel engines (IMO) look like a shoebox with wheels. The trains currently
on shop.lego.com are far more interesting to look at (IMO) than a diesel
engine would be.

LOL You are SOOOOO wrong! (IMNSHO;-)

Things that aren't interesting to the consumer generally don't sell very
well. TLC is probably counting on more than just the die-hard train nuts to
drive sales, so they probably are trying to make the trains as interesting
as possible to people like me who aren't train nuts.

Of course, I could be completely off-base, but that's kind of what it looks
like from here.

You are between 1st and 2nd and the throw to home has been cut off.  This is what
happens when muffinheads start talking trains;-)
