Falcon

Falcon (known now as Sir Handel) is a very stubborn engine who worked on the Mid Sodor from 1923 until it's closure.

About
Falcon came to the Mid Sodor as a very inexperienced engine, who was very stubborn and rude. When he was asked to learn the line with Duke, he complained the whole trip. But as soon as he knew it he was dangling off a cliff with Duke trying to save him. After he was rescued, he learned not to be as stubborn as he was.

When Stuart and Falcon were bought by the Skarloey Railway in 1947, Falcon (renamed Sir Handel) returned to his old ways. He complained about the coaches and said they were "like cattle cars." He often did not want to pull trains.

After being asked to pull cars, Sir Handel refused, and derailed himself. He realized it was rather silly, and was punished greatly. Afterwards, he became more of a obedient but lousy engine.

When it was time for Skarloey and Rheneas' 100th birthday, Sir Handel and Peter Sam would talk endlessly about Duke, after Duke didn't come to the birthday party, but a Human Duke did. Sir Handel and Peter Sam complained that it wasn't the real Duke, and told stories about Duke to the other engines, including Bulldog and You Can't Win.

After hearing Sir Handel and Peter Sam talking, a group of people decided to look for Duke, and after months of searching, Duke was finally found after a long search.

Sir Handel and Peter Sam cheekily teased Duke when he returned.
