Hee-Haw

Hee-Haw is a steam donkey crane that is stationed on Misty Island.

Thomas & Friends
When Thomas refused to work with Ol' Wheezy because of the way that Ol' Wheezy tended to throw logs instead of stacking them, Thomas had Hee-Haw put to use to move the Jobi Wood. The Logging Locos tried to tell Thomas not to use Hee-Haw as he uses a lot of oil, which they need to run.

Later, Hee-Haw had ran out of oil and he bellowed thick black smoke all over Thomas, James and the Fat Controller. Dash's driver had to repair Hee-Haw and refuel him with oil. During winter time, Hee-Haw and Ol' Wheezy were decorated for the Misty Island Christmas party.

Personality
Despite not being sentient, Hee-Haw is referred to as a male and according to Bash, Dash and Ferdinand they describe him as "plain crazy".

Basis
Hee-Haw is based on Swansboro Land and Lumber Railroad's steam donkey, widely used in logging operations.
