A new Search and Rescue Center is being built on the Island of Sodor. Super strong Jobi wood, from Hiro’s homeland, is being used to make the Center. Diesel is carrying the Jobi wood when disaster strikes. Thomas has to rescue Diesel from falling off a cliff and all of the Jobi wood crashes into the sea. As a reward for his daring rescue, Thomas gets to visit the mainland – his first trip off of the Island of Sodor. When the raft carrying Thomas becomes separated from its tugboat, he ends up stranded and alone and on the mysterious Misty Island. Thomas soon meets Misty Island’s resident engines – three funny logging locos called Bash, Dash and Ferdinand. Thomas also finds that Misty Island has plentiful supplies of the rare Jobi wood! With the help of his new friends, Thomas attempts to find his way back to Sodor and uncovers more of Misty Island’s mysteries!
Chief Characters.
Thomas:
Thomas is a blue tank engine. He came to Sodor in May 1915 as a station pilot at Vicarstown until 1946, at which time he was transferred to Wellsworth following an incident with some trucks. Later that year, after rescuing James after his crash, he was given charge of the Knapford-Ffarquhar branch line and two coaches whom he named Annie and Clarabel.
Percy:
Percy is a cheeky saddletank who was brought to Sodor to run Thomas’ branchline during the big engines’ strike.
Emily:
Emily acts as a sisterly figure to the others, but can get into trouble because of her fussy and bossy attitude. She’s a lot nicer and wiser than she lets on.
Whiff:
Whiff is a grubby tank engine who collects refuse. His main task is collecting garbage and scrap, which explains his dirty appearance and smell.

Salty
Salty is a crimson dockyard diesel who works at Brendam.
Rocky
When Rocky was new to Sodor, Gordon and Edward were skeptical about his abilities, noting that Harvey could travel under his own power
Harold
When Harold first met Percy he stated that railways were “slow and out-of-date”, but was proven wrong when Percy later beat him in a race.
