Trevor

“You're very nice Trevor, but you wouldn't make a very good flagpole.”

Trevor

Trevor is a traction engine.

Bio

Trevor used to work on farms doing odd jobs like threshing corn and sawing timber, but his owner thought him old-fashioned and sent him to the scrapyard. Edward luckily befriended him and convinced Rev. Charles Laxey to purchase him. Trevor now lives in the Wellsworth vicarage orchard, but is often borrowed by his old driver Jem Cole to do odds jobs.

Persona

Trevor is very friendly and gets along well with the engines. He is also helpful and ready to give anybody advice. Trevor loves children in particular, especially giving them rides in his cart.

Basis

Trevor is based on a William Foster and Co. eight-ton traction engine built in the 1920s for farm work and hauling heavy loads, and previously owned by the Reverend W. Awdry's friend the Reverend Teddy Boston.
