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, Dash Bash 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 last mentioned in the special, Big World! Big Adventures! by Paxton and Sidney in the song, Where in the World is Thomas as an "unknown island covered in mist" .
