  • This was an absolute pleasure to research; and a bit unexpected as well! I figured Trevor had some real life basis, but little did I know how much!

    Never been this early before & I had the pleasure of meeting Trevor's Voice Actor Christopher Ragland once 😊 That was pretty cool

      @@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967 This will be kind of long 😅 So it was back in October 2018 in London, I went to go see a Musical called Eugenius & Christopher played the Main Character's Father
      So when the show was over I saw him & despite the fact that I don't have alot of confidence I just ran straight over to him & explained that I've been a huge fan of Thomas My Whole Life & I asked what it was like providing the voices for Percy & Trevor? Christopher said it was great & the whole voice cast was like one big family
      Funnily enough earlier in the day I had been to the Science Museum & had seen a Traction Engine that looked just like Trevor 😃 I even showed the picture to him & he found it pretty cool
      Got a photo with him even better 🤩

    I never realized Trevor got a complete large-scale model. That's quite a distinct honor for him, although he definitely deserves it.
    Also, I disagree with the choice to stop saying how the eyes work, or how the faces are made. It is true that people watching these as they come out or binge-ing the entire series will probably get used to hearing it, but, if anyone were to watch this episode, and just this episode, in isolation, then they would have to go out of their way to get the eye and face information from another video, or perhaps elsewhere entirely.
    I personally would treat every video as if it were the only one, but that's just me.

    I’ve actually worked on the “real life” Trevor, Fiery Elias, though I didn’t realise the connection at the time!
    From the mid 90s to the early 2000s, I was a member of the “Steam Apprentice Club” (the youth section of the National Traction Engine Trust) in Britain and would volunteer to maintain and operate various traction engines and steam rollers at steam rallies in different parts of the UK each weekend over the summer months. Great times, until I went to Uni!

    I like the Trevor Noah shows. I think he a funny guy. Some comedians out there are out there including Trevor Noah which is way out there. I like this review on Trevor Noah. Not ha-ha funny, but he-he funny.
    I like Trevor the traction engine in the show. I like his unique design and how different he is from other engines and characters in the show. Thank you for reading this.

    Also the production crew of Thomas and Friends Season three couldn’t figure out the whistles either. Stepney had two different whistle sounds, James’s whistle sounded like six tones higher, Thomas used James’s whistle, it was just a lot. If you see the episode “Bowled Out” fro season four, they show James leaving the station, but with a different whistle.
