Coast to Coast Entertainment Happy Train Crane

A molded train engine anchors the base. Caboose segments snap on behind it, stretching the machine from two players to six.

Overview

The Happy Train Crane by Coast to Coast Entertainment is a multi-player claw machine built around a fully molded train engine front and one or more attached Caboose segments, each housing its own crane station. The base unit supports two players side by side; the middle supports two players and the caboose supports  simultaneous players, with each segment capable of holding a different prize mix. Part of the Elaut Group family of commercial crane products, the Happy Train is built for continuous heavy-use environments.

Key Features

Molded Train Engine Cabinet

The front of the unit is a fully molded train engine in bright, high-contrast colors. The visual profile is distinct from a standard rectangular crane cabinet, giving the machine a recognizable silhouette on the arcade floor.

Full-Color Spectrum LED Backlighting

Translucent fixtures on both the train body and the Caboose roof are backlit by full-color spectrum LEDs. The lighting runs across the full length of the assembled unit, including each added segment.

Per-Segment Prize Variety

Each Caboose segment is stocked independently, so the engine station and each caboose can hold a different prize assortment simultaneously. Operators can tier merchandise by value or category across the segments.

Fiberglass Construction with Tempered Glass 

Cabinet components including the train front, train tail, and Prize Junction roof are fiberglass. Prize Junction front glass doors are tempered. Manufacturer part numbers are individually catalogued, covering the roof, prize detection sensors, opto sensors, front glass door, and control panel overlay.

How It Plays

Each player at their own Caboose station maneuvers a claw over that segment's prize bin and drops it independently of the other stations — up to six players can be mid-game at the same time. From across the room, the full-length LED display pulses along the train and caboose roofline while multiple cranes move and drop simultaneously, making the active machine visually distinct from a single-cabinet crane.
