Misty Island

**Misty Island** is located several miles off the southern coast of Sodor and can be seen from Brendam Docks when it is not covered in mist. It is the home of Bash, Dash, Ferdinand, Ol' Wheezy and Hee-Haw. The logging company's logo is a forest with two axes crossing each other.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

At some point, Bash, Dash and Ferdinand were sent here after misbehaving on their original railway on the Mainland.

Thomas got lost on the island after the chain attaching his raft to the boat pulling it broke. Upon his arrival, he discovered that the rare Jobi trees needed to build the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre grew there. For some time afterwards, engines often visited Misty Island to collect Jobi wood.

In the fourteenth series, Dowager Hatt was taken on a tour of the island and the Logging Locos held a Christmas party there.

In the fifteenth series, Hiro said that it reminds him of his homeland, Japan.

In the sixteenth series, Toby took Rheneas there to look for a Christmas tree to bring back to the Blue Mountain Quarry.

It was later mentioned by Thomas in the twentieth series episode, *The Way She Does It*.

It was also mentioned in the special, *Big World! Big Adventures!* by Paxton and Sidney in the song, *Where in the World is Thomas*.

### Lukeillie's Series

Misty Island had existed for a long time but no one seemed to care about it. Most people didn't believe it was real because it couldn't been seen due to all the mist and no one has ever traveled to the island to confirm its existence. At one point, a railway was going to be built but the project was shut down when it was almost completed. For some time, no one came back or talked about being on the island.

Many years later, the Logging Locos were sent to Misty Island for what they did in their old railway. They used what was already on the island for shelter and repairs. Misty Island eventually became a crazy and dangerous place due to all the damage that the Logging Locos were causing.

After Thomas' arrival on the Island, the railway was restored and the Logging Locos were able to cross to Sodor from the Island. The Island soon got dual gauged after Rheneas' visit so narrow gauge engines could move around on their own. Years later, Misty Island was classified as a dangerous place and no one had traveled there. The Logging Locos didn't understand why no one was coming there and they spent a long time trying to get someone to come. They eventually convinced Luke to come and he then told the Logging Locos how to fix the place so more engines could come. They did as he said so but then Misty Island became dangerous once again. Misty Island then became the Logging Locos' base of operations when the Logging Locos started to became more crazier than ever.
