 It was summer on Sodor. The sky was bright blue, the fields were full of flowers and the birds sang sweetly as Thomas fill up with water. He felt very happy. Suddenly, there was a whoosh and a wheesh and a clacking clack as a streak of silver roared by on the track.

Thomas: Fizzling fireboxes! What was that?

Narrator: All over Sodor, Thomas' friends were buffered and blasted on their track.

Henry: Bubbling boilers!

Percy: Bust my buffers!

James: Watch my paintwork!

Emily: Trembling tracks! Who was that?

Toby: Gosh!

Edward: Slow down, speedy!

Eagle: This railway has a speed limit!

Azul: Have you ever learn to go slow?!

Gordon: Rail-raider!

 Later, Thomas and his friends were at Knapford. They were very puzzled.

James: He was big.

Gordon: He was silver.

Henry: He was very, very fast.

Thomas: That must mean it's.....

[A cloud of steam came towards them and stop to reveal.....

All: (Except Eagle and Azul) Spencer!

Spencer: Hello, Sodor. What do you know? I'm here for the summer.

Thomas: Why?

Spencer: I have a very important job to do. The Duke and Duchess of Boxford are having a new summerhouse built. It has to be finished in time for the Duke and Duchess' holiday. I'm very busy. No time to chat.

And Spencer steam smugly away.

Eagle: Who what that?

Gordon: That was Spencer, my cousin!

Edward: He thinks he's faster and finer than all of us put together!

Azul: He doesn't sound like a really friendly engine!

Thomas: Exactly! Having speedy Spencer on Sodor for one day is bad.

James: But for the whole summer...

Gordon: Is terrible.

That afternoon, Thomas and Percy were huffing and puffing up Gordon's Hill. Then they heard Spencer whooshing and wheeshing behind them.

Spencer: A little more puff and you might make it to the top by teatime.

Percy: Bossy boiler

Next, Spencer caught up with Gordon.

Spencer: Out of my way, slowcoach. (whistles)

Gordon: O, the indignity.

Toby was huffing slowly to a junction. Spencer steamed alongside, hooting and tooting.

Spencer: It looks like you're too old now to be really useful, Toby.

[The signal turns and Spencer set off and Toby's signal turns red again]

Toby gasped. He was upset. He missed his green light. Edward and James were chuffing cheerfully along. Spencer slowed.

Spencer: Dear, oh dear. It takes two old engines to pull one truck, does it? I'm pulling five!

And Spencer thundered away. James was so cross, he couldn't puff at all.

[The scene changes to Tidmouth Sheds at night]

Narrator: That night, the engines can only talk about Spencer.

Thomas: He told Toby he was too old.

Gordon: He's taken over my express line.

James: He'll never have a shiny coat like mine.

Eagle: He'll never learn to get along with us.

Azul: He'll never be nice.

Edward: He'll never have manners. 

Percy: Spencer's scary.

The engines didn't know what to do with Spencer!
