Kevin

"Just a slip of the hook!"

- Kevin

Kevin is a four-wheeled crane who was introduced in Hero of the Rails.

Bio
Kevin is one of the new friends at the Sodor Steamworks, including Victor (whom he calls "boss"), who are there to help Thomas in his quest to reinstate Hiro as the "Master of the Railway".

Persona
Kevin is kind-hearted and eager to give a helping hook for anyone. However, his enthusiasm gets the better of him as he has a habit of dropping engine parts onto the floor of the Steamworks. But once, Victor saw Kevin's clumisness useful when all the noise of dropping parts made Spencer shut his eyes.

Basis
Kevin is based on a Ransome and Rapier 20 ton crane. Just like Kevin, these cranes were known to be clumsy and cumbersome.

Appearances
Kevin was introduced in "Hero of the Rails" with further appearances in Season 13 as the trailer of Splish, Splash, Splosh! shows him carrying a colourful funnel for Thomas in Slippy Sodor.
