Is it true that Bachmann have modified the Cream Tanker to its CGI image?

[Anthony P2]

yes, its true. it can be found in the Thomas' Fun with Freight set.

It's just such a shame that these cannot be bought by themselves! 

[branmas]

I know what you mean.

To be honest, I prefer the old style with actual words on them instead of pictures.

[branmas]

Actually, the old one did have the picture on it. The new one is Cream Colour, not White like the old one.

[RW James]

Yeah, I guess there really wasn't a first generation cream tanker - I was actually referring to the tankers like "MILK" and "OIL" which have been replaced with pictures. I guess it's good for an international audience, or an illiterate, one, or both.

The milk one was changed to in HO? How about Sodor Fuel?

The milk one was changed to in HO? How about Sodor Fuel?

I keep hearing that they will, but I don't think they have yet. I was referring to the new CGI TV shows which I assume is the direction of the market as well.

Sorry if I caused any premature concern.

[branmas]

All good dude.

[RW James]

This is what I am concerned about - I prefer the old version that said "OIL". I guess I need to buy up a few of the old stock before they run out.

[branmas]

I thought you ment Cream Tanker since this is the CGI Cream Tanker.

[RW James]

I thought you ment Cream Tanker since this is the CGI Cream Tanker.

Okay - I am aware that the cream tanker has always had a graphic - they changed the graphic when it was changed in the CGI version. I understand. I just mentioned that I wish they weren't moving all the wagons to the CGI version - I like the old version better.

I won't be getting a Cream tanker because I really don't like it (although, I think the cream color is better than white which is used for the milk tanker) - I prefer the wagons with words on them - they seem more authentic.

I'm sorry if it bothers anyone that I hijacked this thread. I thought the conversation was about the changes to the CGI wagons. But I've seen people get slammed for starting a new thread, and I wouldn't want to go there.
