Ashima

Ashima is a pink oil burning engine from India.

Bio
Ashima and the other foreign engines were on their way to The Great Railway Show when the ferry made a quick on Sodor to pick up a few crates of ship supplies. The engines thought it was their stop, so they got off the ship. When they figured out that it wasn't their stop, they immediately went back to the boat, but Ashima was left behind. She accidently bumped into Thomas. Fortunatly, she was able to pull him back on the rails. But Thomas was jealous because she got to go to the Great Railway Show. Soon, she and Thomas became friends and told him that instead of changing his appearance, he could enter the Shunting Challenge, but had an accident after Diesel's plan to go to the show backfired.

At the Great Railway Show, she competed in the Shunting Challenge against Gina, Ivan, Raul, and Thomas, who took Percy's place because he was too nervous. She also helped Thomas hold back Vinnie, who was about to push Philip into a turntable well. When he spotted a flatbed on the line, Thomas ended up letting Ashima win, although the judges made both of them winners. She then travelled back to Sodor to catch the rail ferry from there.
