They'll probably have the tanker purple and slap the oil emblem, not just the face, onto it.

It said troublesome truck #6 oil tanker, therefore it will just be the oil tanker with a face on it.

Nothing about that name indicates a CGI design.

With a great amount of discussion on Troublesome Truck #6 happening at the moment, I thought that it would be a good idea to bring back this thread.

I agree with those who state that the face will determine how well the reception is for the troublesome tanker. For me, it's mainly about the shape of the face.

In the model series, the faces were square or rectangular (longer vertically, and shorter horizontally), which is what I hope to see.



In contrast, in the CGI series, the faces were rectangular (longer horizontally, and shorter vertically).

To make things easier, I have pasted some links to 3D printed troublesome truck faces that were used for the tankers:

Hopefully, Bachmann will use one of these faces as a reference, as I would be much happier with a model series face than a CG one.

The CG Troublesome Trucks just don't have the same charm to me. I am fully expecting some sort of CG livery on the wagon itself, but I'm hoping the face is based on the model era. Bachmann knows how much people liked Troublesome Truck #5, and I hope they took that into consideration when designing #6.
