 * Michael Brandon: Spencer is a very special engine from the mainland. He belongs to the Duke and Duchess of Boxford. He's very fast, very shiny, and very strong. He also likes to show off.
 * Spencer: Coming through!
 * Michael Brandon: The other engines don't like that. One day, Thomas was shunting freight cars at Natford Yards. Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: The Duke and Duchess of Boxford are coming to Sodor with Spencer.
 * Michael Brandon: He boomed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Spencer will be very tired after his long journey, so you, Thomas, must help him.
 * Michael Brandon: Later, Spencer arrived. Thomas was still working.
 * Spencer: Take my passenger cars and shunt them away.
 * Michael Brandon: Spencer huffed grandly.
 * Thomas: I will when I've shunted these freight cars.
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas. But Spencer didn't like waiting.
 * Spencer: I'm faster, shinier and stronger than you, Thomas. You're just a little tank engine.
 * Michael Brandon: This made Thomas cross. But he remembered Sir Topham Hatt had told him to help. So, Thomas shunted Spencer's passenger cars safely into the sheds. When Thomas arrived back at Tidmouth Sheds, he was very tired. Spencer was already there.
 * Spencer: Anyone can shunt freight cars.
 * Michael Brandon: Wheeshed Spencer.
 * Spencer: But you have to be very special to pull the Duke and Duchess of Boxford.
 * Michael Brandon: This made Thomas very cross.
 * Thomas: I'll show that bossy boiler.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas puffed.
 * Thomas: Tomorrow, I'm going to be faster, shinier and stronger than Spencer.
 * Michael Brandon: The next morning, Thomas had to collect freight cars from the smelters yards. When Thomas reached the mainland, he decided he would go faster than Spencer. Thomas puffed faster and faster. Thomas steamed pass Emily.
 * Emily: Slow down, Thomas!
 * Michael Brandon: She whistled.
 * Emily: You'll never get 'round the bend!
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas slammed on his brakes.
 * Thomas: Whoa!
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas, terrified. Luckily, he stopped just in time.
 * Thomas: Maybe I can't be faster than Spencer.
 * Michael Brandon: He chuffed.
 * Thomas: But I can still be shinier and stronger.
 * Michael Brandon: Later, Thomas was at the wash-down.
 * Thomas: I'd like the shiniest polish ever.
 * Michael Brandon: He tooted. Thomas was rubbed and scrubbed until he sparkled and shone. It took a very long time. Toby pulled up next to Thomas.
 * Toby: Look, Toby.
 * Michael Brandon: Whooshed Thomas proudly.
 * Thomas: I've never been so shiny!
 * Michael Brandon: Toby had an urgent message for Thomas.
 * Toby: You have to shunt stone at the quarry.
 * Michael Brandon: He steamed.
 * Toby: They're waiting for you now!
 * Michael Brandon: So, Thomas puffed quickly away. Thomas arrived at the quarry.
 * Mavis: My!
 * Michael Brandon: Said Mavis.
 * Mavis: You're the shiniest engine I've ever seen.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas was pleased. He puffed off proudly. Thomas's cars were filled with stone. All his sparkle and shine had gone. Thomas was very unhappy. He steamed off with his load of stone. Thomas came to Gordon's Hill. He had never puffed up it with such a heavy load.
 * Thomas: I may not be faster or shinier than Spencer.
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas.
 * Thomas: But I can still be stronger.
 * Michael Brandon: The hill got steeper and steeper, and the stone felt heavier and heavier. Thomas's wheels started to spin.
 * Thomas: Oh, no!
 * Michael Brandon: Cried Thomas. Stones tipped out of the freight cars. He slid all the way to the bottom. Thomas wasn't strong enough, after all. Thomas felt very, very silly.
 * Thomas: All day I've tried to be faster and shinier and stronger than Spencer.
 * Michael Brandon: He wheeshed.
 * Thomas: And I'm not!
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas felt terrible. Next morning, Thomas knew what he was going to do.
 * Thomas: I don't want to be faster, shinier and stronger than Spencer anymore.
 * Michael Brandon: He chuffed.
 * Thomas: I am very happy to shunt freight cars.
 * Michael Brandon: Then, Sir Topham Hatt arrived.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: There is an emergency.
 * Michael Brandon: He boomed.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: The Duke of Boxford has to return to the mainland on very important business. Where are his special passenger cars?
 * Thomas: His cars are right at the back of the yard, sir.
 * Michael Brandon: Puffed Thomas.
 * Thomas: But don't worry. I can shunt them to the front very quickly.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Well done, Thomas.
 * Michael Brandon: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Take them to Spencer immediately.
 * Michael Brandon: When Thomas arrived at the sheds, Spencer's boiler was still cold.
 * Thomas: You might be the fastest, shiniest and strongest engine, but you're the slowest to get fired up.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas tooted cheekily. Now it was Spencer's turn to feel very silly. Then the Duke arrived.
 * Duke: Why are you not ready, Spencer? I will miss my airplane.
 * Michael Brandon: He said sternly.
 * Duke: Thomas, you must take me to the airport.
 * Thomas: Yes, sir.
 * Michael Brandon: Tooted Thomas. The Duke's special coat of arms was placed on Thomas's boiler, and Thomas steamed grandly away. Thomas felt very proud as he raced to the airport. Thomas arrived just in time. Jeremy was waiting for them. The Duke was very pleased.
 * Duke: There's nothing better than an engine you can rely on.
 * Michael Brandon: He said.
 * Duke: You saved the day, Thomas.
 * Michael Brandon: Thomas watched the Duke's airplane fly away. Thomas knew he wasn't faster, shinier or stronger than Spencer, but he was certainly reliable. And that was a very useful thing to be.
