Who is This guy?

I am curious as I don't recognize this Thomas motorized (wood burner?) steam engine with large funnel. Is this the only large funnel engine in the Thomas, Tomy or Trackmaster line?

Either bash or dash

This is Dash, one of the Gypsy twin engines introduced in "Misty Island Rescue" with a twin brother named Bash; Bash was only sold in a large log loading set with Thomas, which fetches about $250.00 U.S. on eBay with free shipping.

Thanks guys

Now that you have mentioned Misty Island Rescue, I do seem to recall watching that movie with my Grandson when it was released and now remember Bash & Dash. Wasn't there a third brother, Ferdinand or am I getting the movies mixed up?

What really piqued my interest in this particular one is the detail of the large funnel, domes and the headlight on the boiler. They seem to be much better than the ones I have seen pictured her.

That would be correct. Three logging locomotives, all American I must add, were introduced in Misty Island Rescue-- Bash and Dash, Gypsy logging locomotives, and the gentle giant Ferdinand, a 3-truck Class C Climax logging locomotive. All three, much like a great deal of Sharon Miller's characters, are highly controversial; Plarail only made Bash and Dash, with rumours of the canceling of further manufacturing of said engines. The Logging Locos are available from Fisher-Price; it took nearly two years before Ferdinand started showing up on store shelves where I live in the U.S.A.

So Dash pictured in the first post with the large funnel is Tomy and the pair pictured are Fisher Price? Is the Tomy one rare?

Not me my friend, not me

I dont believe that for one minute!

Plarail Dash is readily available but the Plarail Bash is only available in the set mentioned above for a premium, I have reviewed Plarail Dash and its a gem! I have not yet had the Trackmaster versions visit my railway but soon
