### Bio

Bash and Dash hard working tank engines who works on the NWR, at the misty island logging station. They mean well, but from time to time do like to have fun. Before working on the NWR, Bash and Dash along with their friend, Ferdinand, worked for B.R. on the mainland. Unfortunately Bash, Dash, and their crews would often play tricks and cause trouble, often roping Ferdinand and his crew into their antics. The railway board decided they were too much trouble on the mainland so the three engines and their crews were resigned to work at the misty island logging station. As time went on the logging station started to loose founds and slowly started to fall into disrepair. That was until Thomas and his crew washed up on misty island, and Ferdinand, Bash, and Dash helped escort him back to Sodor. After arriving on Sodor Sir Topham Hatt, decided to purchases them from B.R., along with the logging station. Now Ferdinand, Bash, and Dash are busier then ever and are happy.
