TTTE S2E6: Thomas and Trevor

Well, here we are; the very last episode out of seasons 1-4 that I'll be reviewing until December, and that's when I finally get to review Thomas' Christmas Party and Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree. Today, it's Thomas and Trevor!

Season 2, Episode 6

Thomas and Trevor

Written by Christopher Awdry

Adaptation by Britt Allcroft and David Mitton

One day at the Vicarage Orchard, Edward tells Trevor that he'll be taking him to meet with Thomas to help at the new harbor, much to Trevor's delight. When Thomas first meets Trevor, he is initially skeptical due to him not running on rails, but Thomas is soon won over by Trevor's versatility, who enjoys giving children rides. Trevor is sad when he goes home, but Thomas reassures him that he'll visit if possible, and he may be needed again at the harbor some day, which cheers Trevor up.

I've read the synopsis for the annual story, and I can see that they're pretty much the same story. I do find it strange that the episode aired in 1986, but the annual story was published in 1988. But I digress. I imagine this could've taken place during Percy the Small Engine, as it's mentioned that Trevor is needed at the new harbor on Thomas' branchline. I do find it odd that Thomas only uses one face-mask throughout the episode; is his face frozen? :P Definitely a good story to give Trevor some development; a shame he rarely appeared in the stories, but I hope to see him play a role in a CGI episode (a cameo in Emily and Dash doesn't count).
