Excellent. I 'knew' they'd have to make Philip, and it's even better that he's not motorised unlike the Revolution one. The first link also has an image of the (spectacular) Shooting Star in colour. I'm surprised they're making a Tekoro Streamlined Thomas in addition to the normal one. Hopefully the Internationals will be made and released in sets (similar to Caitlin).
From the first image, I thought the new Steam Thomas was like the Revolution one (self-contained), but it still has a battery truck. And what is that grey piece on the side meant to be? Pity the water doesn't go in the tank anymore (why the dome?) I'm assuming the switch (?) on his bunker is for the SFX and/or voice (that is, if it will still have the former).
