I think we are ok. 
So in my defense the instructions are in japanese..lol... the water tower has two settings which are shown well in the video above. Basically you have to sort of slide the lever to the cup symbol and press the red plunger down while holding it over as water source (mine was distilled water in a cup). This part I had right.
Where I went wrong.. so with Thomas at the pond I tried to fill him up but sliding the lever to the cup to put in the water, which it did, but wayyyyy to much. It basically flooded Thomas. So I ended up trying the get most all of the water out and waited a bit. Finally I left the lever in the train position. Now when you press down is the tower it will put only a drop or two in and it lights and steams..
So I think it is ok. I will play a bit more and make sure it is ok and also try and get a short video of him. Maybe a comparison or side by side with the other Steam Thomas engines.
