Spencer (character)

Spencer is a sleek express engine number 25 who is owned privately by the Duke and Duchess of Boxford. He is the main antagonist in Hero of the Rails and half good, half bad in the series.

He is very arrogant, and this regularly puts him at odds with The Fat Controller's engines.

During his first visit to Sodor, Spencer took the Duke and Duchess of Boxford on a trip around Sodor, but ignored Gordon's warnings about taking on water and thus ran out - Spencer attributed the incident to a leaky tank.

Upon his next visit, Spencer challenged Edward to a race and maintained a lead for the majority of the race, but vainly fell asleep while the Duke and Duchess stopped to take photos and narrowly lost to Edward after he got onto the summer-house branch line first.

Spencer has since developed a rivalry with Thomas, with the latter often trying to outshine Spencer - largely without success.

He is voiced by Matt Wilkinson in UK, and Glenn Wrage in US.
