Raspberry Syrup Tankers are used for transporting raspberry syrup. Thomas once took one of these tankers to the Sodor Ice Cream Factory.[1]
Technical Details[]
Basis[]
In the Model Series, these tankers were a freelance design. The design appears to be an amalgamation of a standard 14 ton fuel tank wagon, GWR 8 ton Creosote tank wagon, and 22 ton beer tank wagon.
In the CGI Series, these tankers are solely based on a standard 14 ton pre-war tankers common across most British regions.
Livery[]
The raspberry syrup tanker is painted maroon with a logo of a raspberry on both sides.

Trivia[]

- In the Korean dub, the tanker is mistakenly referred to as the "Strawberry Syrup Tanker".
- A CGI model of the raspberry syrup tanker was created by Nitrogen Studios after the series switched to CGI animation in Hero of the Rails, however the model ultimately went unused for the entire duration of the CGI series.
- Bachmann's redesigned HO and G scale models both depict the tanker with the logo used on the CGI model.
- In the Model Series, these tankers share the same design as the Cream Tankers. However in the CGI Series, they utilised the standard tanker design.
