00:00Dream on!

00:04Spencer is a very special engine from the mainland.

00:09He belongs to the Duke and Duchess of Boxford.

00:13He's very fast, very shiny and very strong.

00:20He also likes to show off.

00:24The other engines didn't like that.

00:28One day, Thomas was shunting trucks at Knapford Yards.

00:33The Fat Controller arrived.

00:35The Duke and Duchess of Boxford are coming to Showdoor with Spencer, he boomed.

00:41Spencer will be very tired after his long journey, so you, Thomas, must help him.

00:48Later, Spencer arrived.

00:51Thomas was still working.

00:54Take my carriages and shunt them away, Spencer huffed grandly.

00:59I will when I've shunted these trucks, tooted Thomas.

01:03But Spencer didn't like waiting.

01:05I'm faster, shinier and stronger than you, Thomas.

01:09You are just a little tank engine.

01:12This made Thomas cross.

01:14But he remembered the Fat Controller had told him to help.

01:18So Thomas shunted Spencer's carriages safely into the sheds.

01:27When Thomas arrived back at Tidmouth Sheds, he was very tired.

01:33Spencer was already there.

01:35Anyone can shunt trucks, wheeshed Spencer,

01:39but you have to be very special to pull the Duke and the Duchess of Boxford.

01:44This made Thomas very cross.

01:46I'll show that bossy boiler, Thomas puffed to Percy,

01:50tomorrow I'm going to be faster, shinier and stronger than Spencer.

01:56The next morning, Thomas had to collect trucks from the smelter's yards.

02:02When Thomas reached the main line, he decided he would go faster than Spencer.

02:09Thomas puffed faster and faster.

02:12He puffed faster than he'd ever puffed before.

02:16Thomas steamed past Emily.

02:18Slow down, Thomas, she whistled.

02:21You'll never get round the bend.

02:23Thomas slammed on his brakes.

02:26Whoa!

02:27Tooted Thomas, terrified.

02:29Luckily, he stopped just in time.

02:33Maybe I can't be faster than Spencer, he chuffed.

02:36But I can still be shinier and stronger.

02:42Later, Thomas was at the washdown.

02:45I'd like the shiniest polish ever, he tooted.

02:49Thomas was rubbed and scrubbed until he sparkled and shone.

02:55It took a very long time.

02:57Toby pulled up next to Thomas.

03:00Look, Toby, whooshed Thomas proudly.

03:03I've never been so shiny.

03:05Toby had an urgent message for Thomas.

03:09You have to shun stone at the quarry, he steamed.

03:13They're waiting for you now.

03:15So Thomas puffed quickly away.

03:21Thomas arrived at the quarry.

03:24My, said Mavis, you're the shiniest engine I've ever seen.

03:29Thomas was pleased.

03:31He puffed off proudly.

03:35Thomas's trucks were filled with stone.

03:38All his sparkle and shine had gone.

03:41Thomas was very unhappy.

03:43He steamed off with his trucks.

03:48Thomas came to Gordon's Hill.

03:51He had never puffed up it with such a heavy load.

03:56I may not be faster or shinier than Spencer, tooted Thomas.

04:01But I can still be stronger.

04:07The hill got steeper and steeper.

04:10And the stone felt heavier and heavier.

04:13Thomas's wheels started to spin.

04:16Oh no, cried Thomas.

04:20Stones tipped out of the trucks.

04:24He slid all the way to the bottom.

04:27Thomas wasn't strong enough after all.

04:31Thomas felt very, very silly.

04:34All day I've tried to be faster and shinier and stronger than Spencer, he wheezed.

04:39And I'm not.

04:41Thomas felt terrible.

04:46Next morning, Thomas knew what he was going to do.

04:50I don't want to be faster, shinier and stronger than Spencer anymore, he chuffed.

04:56I'm very happy to shunt trucks.

04:59Then the Fat Controller arrived.

05:03There is an emergency, he boomed.

05:06The Duke of Boxford has to return to the mainland on very important business.

05:11Where are his special carriages?

05:14His carriages are right at the back of the yard, sir, puffed Thomas.

05:19But don't worry, I can shunt them to the front very quickly.

05:23Well done, Thomas, said the Fat Controller.

05:26Then take them straight to Spencer.

05:33When Thomas arrived at the shed, Spencer's boiler was still cold.

05:39You might be the fastest, shiniest and strongest engine,

05:43but you're the slowest to get fired up, Thomas tooted cheekily.

05:48Now it was Spencer's turn to feel very silly.

05:51Then the Duke arrived.

05:54Why are you not ready, Spencer? I will miss my airplane, he said sternly.

06:00Thomas, you must take me to the airport.

06:03Yes, sir, tooted Thomas.

06:07The Duke's special crest was placed on Thomas's boiler,

06:12and Thomas steamed grandly away.

06:17Thomas felt very proud as he raced to the airport.

06:24Thomas arrived just in time.

06:28Jeremy was waiting for them.

06:30The Duke was very pleased.

06:33There's nothing better than an engine you can rely on, he said.

06:38You have saved the day, Thomas.

06:42Thomas watched the Duke's plane fly away.

06:46Thomas knew he wasn't faster, shinier or stronger than Spencer,

06:51but he was certainly reliable.

06:54And that was a very useful thing to be.
