Bash and Dash are fun-loving tank engine twins who live on Misty Island with Ferdinand.
Personalities[]
The mischievous twins of the team, Bash and Dash love playing jokes around the stations and yards on the railway with the other engines. Unlike Bill and Ben, however, their jokes aren't really for the sake of payback or making trouble, they simply want to have fun when not working in the logging yards, where they understand the levels of danger and the importance of safety during the hazardous work. The two never seem to argue and work hard, but both have their differences, with Bash being more of a thinker, and Dash being more of a loud mouth, often blasting his whistle in very quick puffs. "Tweeting" as he calls it. They've been known to have a friendly rivalry with Bill and Ben, and have taken a dislike to Splatter and Dodge, the station pilots at Fausten, who've frequently caused trouble for their trains of timber at the station.
Technical Details[]
Basis[]
Bash and Dash are based on the Bear Harbor Lumber Company's locomotive #1. This type of engine is known as a "gypsy", which had a special yarding mechanism at the engine's front, allowing it to haul logs when the gear is engaged. However, Bash and Dash's yarding mechanism is behind their cabs instead of their fronts to accommodate their faces. Their driving gears and brakes have been removed entirely and they have screwlink couplings. Their cabs appear to be much sturdier, as opposed to the "open" cab that their real life counterpart possesses.
Livery[]
Bash's boiler, wheels and lining are painted slate grey and his cab and dome are painted amber. Dash's boiler, wheels and lining are painted amber and his cab and dome are painted slate grey. They both have a semi-circular symbol depicting three yellow trees with two brown axes crossing each other on the right sides of their cabs.
