The Logging Locos (Thomas & Friends)

The Logging Locos are a group of American logging engines from who live and work on Misty Island. The group is made up of Bash and Dash, two tank engine twins, and Ferdinand, a large tender engine.

Overall

 * 1) They're very annoying characters who serve no purpose other than being Comic-Relief.
 * 2) They have no personality and are all basically the same character. This is further proven with how Bash and Dash have the same design, just with their colors switched.
 * 3) They were one of the main reasons why Thomas & Friends fans hated both Misty Island Rescue and the Sharon Miller Era.
 * 4) Despite being steam locomotives, they run on oil for some reason.

Bash and Dash

 * 1) They don't have any buffers, which is very dangerous in real life.

Ferdinand

 * 1) To get the elephant out of the room, his catchphrase "That's right" is very annoying.
 * 2) Besides his annoying catchphrase, he doesn't have much lines when compared to Bash and Dash.
 * 3) In "Misty Island Rescue", he said "That's right" for a total of 20 times. How can that not get on your nerves?!

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) They thankfully never appeared again after Sharon Miller was replaced by Andrew Brenner.
 * 2) At least they helped Thomas get back to Sodor and complete it's Search And Rescue Center.
 * 3) Their designs do look interesting.
 * 4) William Hope, Kerry Shale, Glenn Wrage (US) Matt Wilkinson, Keith Wickham and Ben Small (UK) all do a decent to good job voicing them.

Reception
The Logging Locos were generally hated by fans of Thomas all together and are generally considered the contributing factor to the series massive decline.
