A wonderful read, as always, Chaz! As for my answers to the questions:
1. Absolutely!
2. When considering which narrow gauge engine to announce after Peter Sam, there is no doubt that Sir Handel is the best choice for all the reasons stated. However, for the next new engine with a new tooling for the Thomas line across all scales, I would still state that Stepney should be the #1 priority, considering his popularity and the fact that it is the 75th Anniversary (I plan to make big post on Stepney in the coming weeks too
).
3. I have zero doubt that Sir Handel will be a hot seller, especially since his CGI render is one of the best.
