“Crankin'!”

― Carly's catchphrase

Carly is a yellow crane engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor. She is close friends with Sandy and works with her at their maintenance yard.

Personality

Carly is a very helpful crane who is always there to lend a hook when her friends are in trouble. She also acts as a sort of big sister figure to Sandy.

Technical Details

Basis

Carly is a freelance design, and as such has no specific basis, though her cab portion is loosely based on a Chinese portal crane built by Xinxiang Kehao Machinery Equipment Co. Ltd., which was her basis in the original series.

Carly's original basis, which inspired the design of her cab in All Engines Go

Livery

Carly is painted yellow with a blue roof, hook, window frames and joints on her crane arm. She has black hazard stripes along the bottom of her rear cab section and on parts of her crane arm. Her running board, valences and bufferbeams are all blue.
