Hmmm!  Let's take a closer look at that. The text on the label is actually:
GOGOトーマス ニア・ブルーノ・ウィフの おともだちセット

Which I would translate as GOGO Thomas; Nia, Bruno and Whiff Friend's Set.  Now doesn't that make a bit more sense?

Now, have another look at "Wataru Batteran!" !

Makes a lot more sense, I'm just using google translate so don't trust any translations i send lol

Fantastic, thank you Dr Chris

The best I can see with that Scenic Color Rail Kit is that is has a new color, Light Blue with Light Blue Rails, Slopes and Single Post Risers. It also looks like the rails on the left are white? If so then I believe the Kit include New Right Turn Curved Slopes in White although I may be wrong there.

Its nice to see them make a completely new Huge Sound and Action Big Station. Wonder if any YouTubers have made any Expo videos.

Real Class Station. Unclear whether this is a future release or not.

Interesting to compare it with the old Super Rail station.

RE: Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES - Super - 04-28-2024

Hey, Thanks Dr Chris, nice find but I do have some questions...

Did wherever this image comes from actually say this is a 'Real Class' Station? The reason I ask as even though there are Real Class rails leading into the station that orange train does not look like real class. It does look to have a removable roof on the lead engine like a Real Class but looking at pictures of the released orange Real Class, it has black roofs. Also, looking closely, there looks to be Tomy Blue Rails inside the covered station (see circle) itself which could be because the Real Class rails have ties that extend outward and would not fit close to the platform. Looking closely they may have cut the extended ties off to get the grey Real Class Rails snug against the exterior platform (see circle). In addition doesn't it look like the covered Station and the extending platforms could all be one piece? I would be very excited to see a release of a Station like this. Can't wait to hear more.

Good similarities with the old Super Rail platform station but I am wondering if I ever saw that one with the clear red roof before as I don't recall it.  Except for the extended part of the platform the station looks closely like the not so vintage but at the same time not so new is this long platform station...

Looks the same as the one you posted, except for the platform itself. It's part of the Real Class layout/display at Plarail Expo.

Actual color is grey, or slightly dark grey, as seen from this review of the Real Class train. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjgD-o9_kmc

My mistake. I just saw a different video of the orange train and indeed the one in Chrisjos images is a Real Class but with grey roofs. The orange train in the image train is missing the Coach with the pantograph on the roof. Wonder why its missing being a display for the Real Class at the Expo?

Thanks Hanoi 👍

This was actually the image I was looking at and to be quite frank...this one looks a lot better to me than the final release. The details and the black roofs and black details around the window framings really makes it pop. Even the wheels look black which I would have loved. I suppose that this image is enhanced to make the train look sharper but...

Also in this close up of Dr Chris's image at the Expo we can see that the orange train is indeed a Real Class with the pantograph. We can also see that the blue track inside the covered station is actually a double wide Tomy track which, to me, I would assume that they indeed had to trim of the Ties on the grey Real Class rails to make them fit. Wouldn't it be great if this was something planned in the future? If it was then wouldn't it be a great idea if two stations could be connected together and thus, have a big, long station like the Plarail Knapford station? Maybe they have ideas to release a whole series of buildings and scenery for the Real Class series....wow, wouldn't that be great? Are you listening Plarail???
