When he arrived at the shed,
the huge engine was
humming quietly.

- [James] This is Spencer.
He's the fastest
engine in the world.

and Duchess' private engine.
I take them everywhere.
- [Top Hat] There
will be a party

away over Gordon's hill.

take on plenty of water.

plenty of water.

Spencer and he raced away.

trying to be useful.

showed The Duke and Duchess
many beautiful places.
(train chugging)

stopped to take on more water.
Gordon and Thomas were
collecting passengers
when Spencer raced through
on his way to the party.
(train chugging)
(whistle blowing)
- [Gordon] Don't
forget the water!
- [Spencer] Who cares!
(trumpet music)
- [Thomas] He'll
be in trouble soon.
- [Narrator] Sighed Thomas.
(upbeat music)
(train chugging)
- [Narrator] And Spencer was.
He ran out of water
on Gordon's hill.
(steam blows)
(birds chirp)
- [Spencer] Why didn't I listen?
- [Narrator] Sir Topham
Hatt soon heard the news.
- [Sir Topham Hatt]
I'll send Gordon.
- [Narrator] He boomed.
(hopeful music)
(train chugging)
- [Narrator] When Gordon
arrived, the station master
was waiting. (steam blows)
- [Station Master] You
need to rescue Spencer.
He's stuck on the hill.
- [Gordon's Driver] Hurry
Gordon! (whistle blows)
- [Narrator] Said his driver.
(train chugging)
- [Narrator] Gordon was looking
forward to seeing Spencer.
- [Gordon] Run out of water?
- [Narrator] He teased.
- [Spencer] Yes.
- [Narrator] Snapped Spencer.
- [Spencer] I must
have a leaky t*nk.
- [Gordon] Perhaps.
- [Narrator] Smiled Gordon.
- [Gordon] But we better hurry.
Everyone is waiting.
(whistle blows)
(engine chugs)
- [Narrator] Gordon
switched to Spencer's
line and was coupled up.
(steam blows)
- [Narrator] Then they set off.
(whistle blows)
(steam blows)
(whistle blows)
(engine chugs)
(upbeat music)
- [Gordon] See?
- [Narrator] Said Gordon.
- [Gordon] We're right on time.
- [Narrator] But
Spencer was embarrassed.
- [Thomas] So what do you
think of Spencer, now?
- [Narrator] Thomas whispered.
- [Percy] Too much puff
and not enough steam.
- [Sir Topham Hatt]
Well done, Gordon.
- [Narrator] Said
Sir Topham Hatt.
- [Sir Topham Hatt] You are
the fastest engine on Sodor.
- [Gordon] I know that.
- [Narrator] Muttered Gordon.
