Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Cranky the Crane

Posted on April 26, 2009 by Noel

41VOZmHOMEL Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Cranky the Crane Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Cranky the Crane Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends is an ensemble of lovable railroad characters that includes Cranky the Crane. Cranky is one of the add-ons to the award-winning Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway System. Straight out of the books by W. Awdry that made Thomas famous, Cranky has a fascinating history and a captivating personality. This crane comes with experience, a slightly testy temperament, and two large red handles for easy operation. Cranky’s body attaches lickety-split to the crane tower. One handle pivots Cranky around; the other raises and lowers cargo for loading and unloading cars by magnetic power. Cranky the Crane comes with one piece of cargo, also durably built of wood. –Lynne Sampson
Customer Review: Cranky is a work in progress…
I’ve read some of the other reviews and, well, our Cranky’s head has NEVER fallen off. So many that is a recent thing? But my husband came back from the toy store today and noted that Cranky has been redesigned with a base that attaches to the track. Our problem with Cranky is that he falls over too easily. But durability is always going to be the issue with a 2 year old, I imagine icon smile Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Cranky the Crane
Customer Review: A must have!
This is a really cool piece! Cranky pivots 180 degress, retrieves cargo from the trains, and can distribute it elsewhere with help. My son has thoroughly enjoyed playing with this. For play value, it’s definitely worth the money.

Customer Review: great train for girls
one of the few girl trains you can buy anywhere. thomas trains are worth the extra money you pay. they are much more durable and best of all they roll easier than cheaper (i.e. Brio) trains. This is important if you child likes to make long trains by connecting multiples together.
