Donald Cranko, proprietor of Movie Models in Havelock North, New Zealand, started making 0 gauge trains under his own name in 1947. Cranko was the only toy train manufacturer in New Zealand who offered a complete system of 0 gauge trains: locos, rolling stock and track. (There also was David Auld, who from 1966 only made live steam 0 gauge locos, and Lawrence Lines, which only made track, and Real Rail which only made track and accessories). Cranko started with a small 0-4-0 live steam loco with oscilating cylinders. In 1952 this was succeeded by a model called the Mighty Atom, powered by a single oscillating cylinder in the cab, with no speed control or reverse, and driving the rear wheels through a pinion and crown wheel. The burner is very simple: the tube is stuffed with a wick and a slit in the tube enables the wick to be lighted. The rear wheels are cast lead, the front wheels turned aluminium to withstand the heat. Though very simple in its construction the Mighty Atom was quite a good runner. Rolling stock consisted of a tank wagon, an open wagon, a bolster wagon and a timber wagon. There also was a live steam 2-6-0, an electrically driven model of a diesel shunter and an electrically driven passenger set. Besides trains, also steam driven boats, stationary engines and road rollers were produced. Production of Cranko trains ceased in the mid-1950s.
