Trevor is a traction engine who resides at the Wellsworth Vicarage Orchard. He is owned by the Vicar of Wellsworth and driven by Jem Cole.
Biography[]
Trevor used to work on farms doing odd jobs like threshing corn and sawing timber, but his owner thought he was old-fashioned and sent him to Crocks Scrap Yard. Edward luckily befriended him and convinced Reverend Charles Laxey to purchase him. Trevor now lives in the Wellsworth vicarage orchard but is often borrowed by his driver Jem Cole to do odd jobs and to appear at various events such as steam fairs.[1]
Personality[]
Trevor is incredibly cheerful, kind and benevolent and gets along well with nearly everyone. He enjoys basking in the sunshine or dozing in his shed, but easily grows bored and unhappy if he does not have much company or enough work to do. Trevor is particularly fond of children and loves giving them rides whenever he gets the chance.
Technical Details[]
Basis[]
Trevor is based on a Single Crank Compound (SCC) traction engine manufactured by Charles Burrell & Sons. Specifically, a Burrell design with slick front tyres, treaded rear tyres, brass funnel, covered flywheel and belly tank.
Although the concept of Trevor was inspired a William Foster & Co. eight-ton Double Crank Compound (DCC) general purpose traction engine built in 1927 named Fiery Elias. It was owned by the Rev. W. Awdry's friend, the Rev. Teddy Boston. He also owned the steamroller that was the inspiration for George.
Livery[]
In Edward the Blue Engine, Trevor was painted black all over with gold boiler bands and a gold chimney cap.
In Thomas and the Twins and Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree, he was repainted green with gold boiler bands and a gold chimney cap. His smokebox is also painted green in this livery.

Quotes[]
- "I'm Trevor, they're going to break me up next week".
"What a shame!" said Edward.
"My driver says I only need some paint, Brasso and oil to be as good as new", Trevor went on sadly. "But it's no good. My master doesn't want me. I suppose its because I'm old fashioned".
Edward snorted indignantly. "People say I'm old fashioned. But I don't care. The Fat Controller says I'm a really useful engine".
"My driver says I'm useful too", replied Trevor. "I sometimes feel ill, but I don't give up like these tractors. I struggle on and finish the job. I've never broken down in my life!" he ended proudly." - ― Trevor introduces himself to Edward
