Carly (AEG)

"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 co-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 mother figure to Sandy.

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.

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.

 * It is revealed that within the series, Carly is eight years old.
 * Marketing descriptions often incorrectly state that Carly is exclusive to All Engines Go.
 * Early boxes for Carly's Motorized and Push Along releases refer to her simply as "Crane Vehicle". This was changed to "Carly the Crane" in later releases.
