Carly (AEG)/Behind the Scenes

Background Information
Carly is a fictional crane created by Lee Pressman and Ian McCue.

Carly first appeared in the first series episode A Thomas Promise, which first aired in 2021.

Unlike the original television series, Carly is a part of the main cast of engines in All Engines Go. Rather than being a dockyard crane at Brendam Docks, she is a crane locomotive and works at The Maintenance Yard with Sandy.

2D animated rigs
Carly in All Engines Go uses a series of complicated 2D rigs created by Nelvana Studio. These rigs are made up of different assets, which can be stretched, squashed and posed to create the desired movements and poses. Carly's movements are handled by an animation team, with a posing team to create specific poses as required for certain shots.

Carly's 2D design has undergone many changes from the design used in the original series:
 * She is an engine and has an 0-4-2 wheel arrangement.
 * Resultingly, all parts of Carly below her cabin area have been removed.
 * She is much shorter.
 * She gains headlights, buffers and couplings, her headlights doubling as her front buffers.
 * The printed name on her sides has been removed.
 * While it is unknown the exact reason for this change, it is most likely so that the English names for the characters will not appear in other dubs.
 * The square behind her face is now blue.
 * She has less rivets on her.
 * Her crane arm design is heavily simplified.
 * The window closest to her face is gone.
 * She has blue irises.
 * She has different eyelashes.
 * She has a horn.
 * She no longer speaks with a Liverpudlian accent in the English dubs.
