I've just stumbled across the Jenny Kirk video of this product whilst researching something entirely different! To be fair to Jenny it's not just a box opening video and she does actually go through the full installation process as she adds it to her own layout.
As far as the product itself is concerned my personal view is it's a very expensive toy (£42ish) that may bring a smile to the little ones with their Thomas The Tank engines for a few minutes, but serious modellers (like ourselves?) will stay away. Non motorised speaking Dapol versions of this round GWR water tower are available but decent kits can be found elsewhere. For completeness the video is linked below.

PS As mentioned before, this item is currently the subject of a safety product recall by Dapol so your £42 is safe for the time being
