(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

- It was a sunny day

(birds chirping)

on the island of Sodor

and all the engines (train

whistle) were working hard.

(engine chugging)

Gordon was feeling very

excited. (train whistle)

- [Gordon] Morning, Thomas.

I look my best and you know why?

- [Thomas] Why?

- [Gordon] Because the Duke

and Duchess are visiting.

Sir Topham Hatt will be choosing

me as their special engine.

- [Thomas] Pah!

- [Narrator] Puffed Thomas.

(train whistle)

(upbeat music)

After Gordon had been

washed and polished,

he rushed away to

meet the visitors.

But a signal diverted

Gordon into a siding.

(engine chugging)

He was very upset.

(steam blows)

- [Gordon] I'm going to be late!

- [Narrator] He muttered.

(upbeat music)

A huge engine rocketed by.

(train whistle)

(engine chugging)

(steam blows)

- [Gordon] Steaming pistons,

who was that?

(horn music)

- [Narrator] Gordon

soon found out.

When he arrived at the shed,

the huge engine was

humming quietly.

- [Spencer] Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

- [Gordon] Who are you?

- [James] This is Spencer.

He's the fastest

engine in the world.

- [Spencer] Mhmm.

- [Gordon] Huh.

- [Narrator] But secretly,

Gordon was impressed.

- [Spencer] I'm the Duke

and Duchess' private engine.

I take them everywhere.

- [Top Hat] There

will be a party

for The Duke and Duchess

at Marin station.

- [Percy] That's far

away over Gordon's hill.

- [Gordon] You'll need to

take on plenty of water.

- [Narrator] Muttered Gordon.

- [Spencer] I have

plenty of water.

- [Narrator] Wheeshed

Spencer and he raced away.

(train whistle)

(train chugging)

- [Gordon] I was only

trying to be useful.

- [Narrator] Grunted Gordon.

(whistle blows)

(Gordon blows whistle)

(engine chugs)

(grand music)

- [Narrator] Spencer

showed The Duke and Duchess

many beautiful places.

(train chugging)

- [Narrator] But he never once

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.
