Now I'm even more assured that I don't like it... 
I see three problems here:
(1) The colour of that powered truck (or wagon or tender) is just not my cup of tea. It's not only the bright green, it's the light brown (or orange, or whatever) top of the car too. What is that on that car? Luggage? Boxes? It looks like it's melted with the rest of the light brown coloured surface. Not good.
I noticed many toy manufacturers using very bright colours lately, it's obviously a trend. Bright colour catches the attention of the child. But in the same time the bright coloured item takes all the attention from the main object - in this case Thomas!! First I see the truck, then I see Thomas. Not good. Using such a colour in this case is sort of distraction. But that's just my opinion.
They are doing the "let's-make-very-bright-trucks-and-gain-attention" thing for quite some time now. Ryan's bright orange truck, New Edward's bright yellow wagon, etc. Don't get me wrong, I like colours. In the matter of fact, colours are one of the distinctive things when it comes to Plarail. I like Plarail colours a lot! Well up until recently...
It would be much better if they made this Thomas with powered Annie and unpowered Clarabel. Annie & Clarabel would be a logical choice for Thomas' train. And what would you couple with that brightly coloured truck? Only a circus train comes to my mind.
(2) Thomas has stickers that a buyer should put on?? I really didn't expect that of Tomy. Why they came up with stickers on the sides at all? To my recollection, there were no stickers on Thomas' sides on any recent Tomy Thomas release, so that's a regression, a decline.
(3) As for the station (the half of it, to be precise!), we already expressed our opinions on such stations here on BPT. They are just unacceptable; they are far below Tomy’s production level. This is supposedly a countryside set, so why on earth didn't they just use the regular countryside station, maybe in some new colours?
All in all, there are too many flaws in my opinion. I vote "Nay".
