Plot
Trevor is bored with life in the Vicarage and is delighted when he is given the chance to help clear the site of the proposed Knapford Harbour. Edward takes Trevor to the junction to meet Thomas, who is confused at the concept of a steam engine that doesn't need rails. Trevor soon proves his worth at the harbour, and after giving children rides around the harbour goes home. Trevor is upset, but feels happy again when Thomas reminds him he may be needed at the harbour again.
