Kevin (Story Library Book)

"Trembling tracks! What's that noise?" "That's Spencer's whistle. I'd know that snooty sound anywhere!"

- Kevin and Victor

Kevin, re-titled Kevin the Mobile Crane in 2011, is the sixty-second book in the My Thomas Story Library series.

Plot
Spencer is back on the Island and is rude to Kevin for dropping and bumping into things all the time. Then, Spencer breaks down around the back of the Steamworks. Spencer tries to whistle but only a muffled sound comes out. Luckily for Spencer, Kevin hears his whistle and comes to his rescue. Now, Spencer and Kevin are firm friends, and whenever Spencer visits Sodor, he always visits Kevin.

Trivia

 * Some lines from Hero of the Rails are used including Victor's line, "Haven't you got a job to do, Spencer? You're taking up a lot of track!"
 * The line, "Wake up lazybones, why don't you get to work like me?" is similar to a line used in the first series episode, Thomas and Gordon.
 * Thomas going to the Steamworks due to a cracked funnel also happened in the thirteenth series episode, Slippy Sodor.
 * This is the only Story Library Book not to be based off a television series or Railway Series story, possibly due to Kevin not having any solo titled roles at the time.

Goofs

 * In the final illustration, Victor can be seen outside the Steamworks on what look like standard gauge tracks, and his eyes are a bit wonky.
 * On the 2010 cover, Kevin's hubcaps are missing. This was fixed on the 2011 cover.
 * In the first illustration, Spencer has no nameplate.
