Sounds good, but remember the Skarloey railway engines, if thats what you're planning on running, are very expensive!

I'm sure they didn't consciously choose to announce James over updating us about Rheneas. Patience is a virtue.
Except that's not what I said in my post... -_-
I said that I would have been a lot happier over hearing about Rheneas, and something tells me I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

It's only a picture, we have no idea what all might actually be changed and I for one believe that might include the motor. You never know, it's better to wait and see I think ...
Except when the only thing behind this revision was the paint change, then why would they change the motor in the process? It would actually cost them more money to do even more of a drastic change. Especially with how minimal the revision the model itself had based on the picture.

Patience is a virtue.
Would be nice to know if this will be out in time for Christmas. Would have been a lot happier seeing an update on this than the James model.

There, now everyone can stop talking about this.
Honestly this isn't worth getting that excited over, sure it's nice they have the wheels Black amongst a few other details but they didn't fix every paint error, the face is the same with no update, and it has the same motor before. If people are planning on buying this then by all means go for it, but for me these are things revisions a lot of Thomas fans have done in the past with James models so it's not something I'm overly keen on.
Yes it's an improvement, but will it be an improvement in the sales it had before? Honestly, probably not.
