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 William Foster & Co. eight-ton Double Crank Compound (DCC) general purpose traction engine built in 1927 named Fiery Elias that was owned by the Rev. W. Awdry's friend, the Rev. Teddy Boston. He also owned the steam roller that became George and Buster's basis. Boston's widow, Audrey, still owns Fiery Elias.
Unlike his basis, however, Trevor is depicted with a belly-tank under his boiler and is depicted as a Single Crank Compound (SCC) traction engine.

Trevor's basis
Livery
Trevor is painted dark green with red lining and wheels, a black smokebox and gold boiler bands.
