I do not own Thomas the Tank/Thomas & Friends or I would have kept them in their models forms.
Trevor loved his job at the orchid as it was very peaceful, he gets to see beautiful of the countryside of Sodor and he can see Edward go along with his job, sometimes stopping by to see how his friend is doing.
But overtime the same thing overtime does make Trevor want to do more.
This thought plagued him recently and today it was bad as he was now leaning against the fence that surrounded the orchid, also it was the section next to the tracks. He sighed before hearing Number 2 come pulling up and he looked up to see Edward bring the train to a stop, he was curious by the Flatbed that Number 2 was pulling.
"Morning Trevor, you seem down, what's the matter?" Edward asked his friend after walking up to him and had noticed the down look on his face. Trevor sighed again before answering his friend. "Work here is great and all, but lately I want something else to do to just change things up. The Victor said he will find some other stuff for me to do, but got nothing right now."
"Good he doesn't right now." Edward said making Trevor look at him with a raised eyebrow confused by that comment before Edward continued. "Sir Topham Hatt's project of restoring the Old Harbour, attached to the Fraquhar Branchline and was the main harbour before Knapford's one was built, is nearing completion of its restoration and Sir Topham Hatt would like for you to help out." Edward explained and couldn't help but smile at Trevor's grin of excitement to help out on a big project like this. Some moments later Trevor was riding in Number 2's cab after his Traction Engine was secured onto the Flatbed and the Victor saw them off, wishing Trevor luck with the work before the two headed off down Edward's line to Wellsworth before heading down the Main Line towards Elsbridge Junction to meet up with Thomas. Trevor was interested to meet Thomas after Edward told him about his fellow engine driver.
Not long after arriving at Elsbridge Thomas arrived with a Goods Train for the Old Harbour as he and Percy were a;sp assigned to help with its final restoration parts too while Toby handled Passenger Trains until they come back.
"Ahh Thomas there you are. This is Trevor, he is a good friend of mine who I helped save his Traction Engine from scrap." Edward said smiling to his friend as Thomas came over and Thomas gave Trevor a friendly nod before looking at the Traction Engine with confusion.
"A what engine?" Thomas asked confused raising a brow.
"A Traction Engine, it can work on any terrain." Trevor said proudly though he did find Thomas's confusion amusing as this was not the first time he had someone not understand what a Traction Engine was.
"Sir Topham Hatt asked for Trevor to help finish off the Old Harbour's restoration. I brought him here for you take him there." Edward explained and Thomas nods before having the Flatbed carrying Trevor's engine attached to his train. He was soon off with Trevor riding in the cab with him and Edward waved them off as they headed to their destination.
Along the way Trevor explained his story to Thomas who felt sorry for him for nearly losing his beloved Traction Engine seeing it seems anything Steam Powered seems to be destined to be scrapped these days if they aren't at the safety of Sodor.
When they got to the Old Harbour they saw it was in a mess as piles of materials, pieces and other things needed where all over the place.
"Ahh Thomas, Trevor about time you two got here." Marcus called out after seeing the two show up. "Thomas leave your trucks over there and go get some of your Orange Coaches to pick up some workers that are coming in from Knapford as we need the additional help. Trevor we need you to help pull all this out of the way, some Trucks that were carrying this stuff broke and now this stopping any work from being done."
Both men nodded at what they needed to do and Trevor had his Traction Engine loaded off Thomas's train after it was moved to the side. Thomas than soon headed off to fetch some of his Orange Coaches while Trevor got straight to work and eager to prove himself seeing he was personally asked to come here, so he was determined to not let anyone down.
So, for the rest of the day Trevor worked all over the Old Harbour moving things from place to place, pulling things out of the way and other jobs too.
Eventually as the sun started to set Trevor had worked hard and now sat to the side with Thomas as both looked at the now finished Old Harbour.
"Now I would like to see those Diesel buggers or your former boss try to say we steampowered drivers are useless now." Thomas said grinning to Trevor who grinned back. "Agreed there friend. Agreed there." He replied back and both young men spend the rest of the day just chatting about things really getting to know each other. Trevor had such a good time that he was sad that he had to head back to the Orchid, but was cheered up by Thomas promising to visit and sending a good word to Sir Topham Hatt so in case Trevor is ever needed again.
That night as he slept in bed Trevor was glad he made another friend in Thomas.
Hope you all enjoyed.
