What other Thomas cars have magnetic cargo that work with Cranky?

I don't know of any. My son uses Cranky mostly to pick up the engines and cars themselves.

Matt, this is almost a year late, but in case you're looking to add to your collection this Christmas, I thought I'd add that Brio has some compatible pieces - the gold mining train, boxcar train, and the lumber loader all have magnetic tops.

Hey, my son got some "chicken cars" for New Year that have magnetic cargo too. I know it's kinda too late for Christmas, but I wanted to update the info here. Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Sodor Chicken CarsIf you look at the pic, you can see the magnetic circle in the center of the cargo.

There are grove marks for four cars and the width of the grove marks does work with other types of cars, however I will say matchbox cars may not work the best due to the depth of the groves. It does work with Thomas trains, my son has used it for hot wheels trucks, he has tried with cars and it works but not AS well as a vehicle that has a higher underside clearance.

Not a Thomas track. I think it was big jigs or mr conductor tracks on amazon.

Yes, works with Kid Craft and Thomas wooden railway, does not work with Thomas take-n-play.

This one would NOT work. We had to get a Thomas bucket for our son. That is all we could find.

I feel your pain. my 4yr old has been a Thomas/train fanatic since he was 1.5 yrs old and has about every engine they produce. I found Bash @ WalMart, stumbled upon Dash @ BigLots and cannot find Ferdinand anywhere. The train HAS been released, however, because I've seen them on ebay... one for $99 and another offer to buy all three for $125! The ad says it won't be released until 2011. If that is so, how are ppl getting them to sell on ebay? People are actually paying these ridiculous amounts for these trains... I dont get it, either. All I've heard from my son is, "where's Ferdinand?" "I need Ferdinand." I feel your pain. my 4yr old has been a Thomas/train fanatic since he was 1.5 yrs old and has about every engine they produce.

This is a great little set of trains. There are even removable loads that can be picked up with the magnet of Cranky from Thomas the Train. Fits our Thomas the train stuff and therefore also Brio but never heard of Kidcraft wooden tracks. If they are interchangeable with Brio and Thomas then you're set!

The wheels fit those tracks and the magnets are on the correct ends. The engine and caboose are much smaller than Thomas ones so would look odd in a train of those cars, and the letters are taller than typical Thomas cars so may not fit under bridges and tunnels.

FASTRACK will work with any O or O27 guage trains. FASTRACKS are great for laying out on carpet as they will not come apart. Good choice P. Mason! As to which cars to buy? That is strictly personal. Most kids I would imagine would love working cars: coal cars, cattle cars, milk car, rocket car, crane car, etc. Grandpas also love these cars.

Yes, the cargo car does disconnect from the Thomas engine - they are connected by the two-way magnets that are standard for Thomas engines and cars. The Thomas engine is the same size as standard wooden Thomas engines. Hope this helps!

I know this set will work with the Wooden Thomas trains. If your battery operated Thomas trains are wooden, then yes it will work with this set.

I never had the Vtech but my sons small metal magnet Thomas trains fit the track. There's so much stuff that comes with it that my boys just play with the wooden trains & cars anyway. It's not your Pottery Barn quality but seems to work fine.

Yes you can. The set comes with 2 straight pieces of track (one is where the power supply attaches) and 8 curved sections. You can easily add additional "Lionel Fast Track" track sections (straight or curved) and train cars to the set. The remote Thomas engine is a surprisingly strong puller, and can easily handle an additional 3 - 6 cars (often advertised as Thomas O gauge expansion packs). Enjoy!

Unfortunately, I cannot offer you any help with this. I have found matches with Orbrium, Maxim Enterprise, Imaginarium (toys R Us), and Right Track Toys to be compatible with Thomas Train sets and because they offer better prices, I have not purchased any from Fisher Price.

My son has a few Disney cars so I just checked for you. The King and the Sheriff car were too wide to fit down the ramp in the front where it splits, and the King was too long to fit around the bends in the blue loops. It does work with matchbox or hot wheels type cars though.

Very well. Works with all matchbox and Hotwheel cars. Some are a little long for the elevator.

I checked with the grands.... they say all the Thomas engines they have will fit through. Hope this helps.
