Can anyone give me the measurements of Crankys Base? Thank you
Also is the rectangular base detachable?
It is detachable, and I'm not sure but it's probably about four inches each side. It's a square base.
Thanks my wife calls me cranky so she wants him on the layout by fathers day.
Very nice! You'll be happy to have him.
Cranky Departed Sodor for Staten Island today or so Amazon tellsa me.
Well that's good, he should be at his new home pretty soon. ;)
He arrived last night
OK so Cranky is up and operating but I am ththinking of putting wheels on his base so he can be pulled along the side of the container yard where he works. Anyone ever try this?
I added a magnetic lift to cranky and he is hard at work

Fantastic! Well done, hope you're happy with him.
Yes I am The only thing I want to warn everyone is that cranky is a bit top heavy you have to either glue him or weight him down I chose the former using some stick on foam and tacky glue under is base.
The lift is a wooden drawer pull I got at Home Depot for 94 cents with a screw eye for another buck or so. I sanded the bottom painted it and glued the magnet on.
I also opened the bottom of the containers to glue magnets inside.
