I believe it's a TOMY Capsule Plarail Troublesome Van, missing the front coupling.
Does this look about right?

It's ment to eliminate the need to wind up the engines (Or add power to unpowered engines) from my understanding.
I believe they all have TOMY somewhere on the bottom.

The whole Thomas wikia page on them is over here.

They run on smaller blue plastic tracks, and TOMY has also produced some non-Thomas ones as well. It's kinda hard to find them in the U.S., I've never seen any of them at retail.
There's quite a size difference.

I have a website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.
