00:00Welcome, Stafford. Spencer is a snooty engine. When he visits Sodor, he races past the other
00:13engines and thinks that this makes him very grand. Spencer thinks he is the most special
00:21engine on Sodor. One morning, Spencer was feeling particularly special.
00:29Good morning, Thomas. Good morning, Spencer. You look happy. I am. Today, I have a very
00:39special special. I am to meet Stafford, the new shunting engine, and show him round the
00:45island. I've finished my jobs for this morning. I'd like to meet Stafford, too. Then you had
00:51better pump your pistons, little fellow, and follow me. And Spencer whooshed away to
00:58the steamworks. He pulled up in a swirl of silver steam. Hello, steamworks. But no one
01:07was listening to Spencer. They were all too busy with Stafford. I said hello. Victor sighed.
01:18We heard you, Spencer. Hello. Come and meet Stafford. Spencer puffed over to Stafford
01:25just as Thomas chuffed in. Hello, Stafford. I'm Thomas. Hello, Thomas. Stafford is very
01:32special. Tell him why, Stafford. Stafford blushed. I'm an electric engine. I have a
01:38battery, not a boiler. That's very special. That is why I have been chosen to show Stafford
01:48to the island of Sodor. Puff along, Stafford. The island awaits. Victor sighed. No, Mr.
01:57Silver Steam. Stafford can't puff. He has a battery. And there is something very important
02:05to remember about batteries. I know about batteries, Victor. Run along, Stafford. Victor
02:13wheezed. Batteries run out. But Spencer wasn't listening. The island will think I'm very
02:22grand showing them an electric engine. Stafford rolled up. Just one thing, Spencer. First,
02:31I will take you to the Sodor Search and Rescue Center. They will be amazed. And Spencer wheezed
02:40grandly away with Stafford following close behind. The Sodor Search and Rescue Center
02:47was a long way away. Just one thing, Spencer. But Spencer wasn't listening. Spencer, I say,
02:56Spencer, can you hear me? Spencer didn't hear Stafford. He was too busy whistling and
03:03at the children. Spencer, Spencer, my battery is running out. And Stafford rolled to a stop.
03:11Oh, dear. Spencer steamed into the Sodor Search and Rescue Center. Hello, rescue team. I have
03:24the special special of bringing you Stafford, the electric shunting engine. The rescue team
03:33looked and looked again at the space on the track behind Spencer. Spencer sniffed. Say hello,
03:42Stafford. We may be missing something here, Spencer. But there's no one with you. Spencer
03:51felt silly. Fizzling fireboxes. Stafford must be lost. I will find him. And Spencer steamed
04:01swiftly away. Spencer found Stafford. His battery was being charged. Whatever happened to you,
04:09Stafford? Stafford sighed. I'm sorry, Spencer. My battery ran. Please, I know about batteries.
04:17Misty Island awaits. And Spencer whooshed away, with Stafford following close behind. Misty
04:27Island was a long way. Stafford was worried. Just one thing, Spencer. But Spencer still wasn't
04:36listening. Spencer, I say, Spencer, can you hear me? But Spencer was too busy whistling and wheezing
04:45at the children. I'm afraid my battery's running out again, Spencer. Spencer! And Stafford
04:53slowed to a halt. Oh, dear. Here we go again. Spencer steamed into the logging station.
05:04Bashdash and Ferdinand were there. Hello, Misty Island locos. I have the special special of
05:13bringing you Stafford, the electric shunting engine. The Misty Island locos looked and looked
05:23again at the space on the track behind Spencer. Say hello, Stafford. Is Stafford very small? Or
05:36maybe he couldn't make it? That's right. Spencer felt even sillier. Blistering boilers. I must find
05:47him. And Spencer chuffed crossly away. Spencer found Stafford. His battery was being charged
05:56again. Stafford, what is the matter now? I'm sorry, Spencer. The thing is, my battery runs.
06:06Please, battery shmattery. The Duke and Duchess of Boxford await at their summer house. And Spencer
06:15thundered away, with Stafford following close behind. The Duke and Duchess of Boxford's
06:22summer house was a long way away. Stafford was even more worried. Just one thing, Spencer.
06:30My battery is going to... No, Stafford, we're late. Your battery is mine. But Stafford's battery
06:39wasn't fine. It had run out of power. Spencer, Spencer. Oh, never mind, Spencer. The Duke and Duchess
06:51were waiting by their summer house. Spencer whooshed and grumbled. Hello, my Duke and Duchess.
07:00I have the special special of bringing you Stafford, the electric shunting engine. The Duke
07:09and Duchess looked and looked again at the space on the tracks behind Spencer. Stafford's not there.
07:17You've lost him. Did you let his battery run down? Spencer groaned. Oh, I think I did, sir.
07:28We must find him at once. And Spencer steamed sadly away with the Duke and Duchess.
07:37Once again, Spencer found Stafford having his battery charged. The Duke and Duchess were thrilled.
07:45What a splendid little engine. We have to meet the Fat Controller now at Knapford. Pump your piston,
07:54Spencer. But Spencer's pistons couldn't pump and his boiler couldn't bubble. All the long journeys
08:03meant Spencer had run out of coal. Oh, dear. Stafford, could you help him, please? Happy to help.
08:14Oh, the shame. So Stafford shunted Spencer all the way to Knapford Station. Everyone was excited
08:26to see Stafford. Nobody noticed Spencer. I only have one thing to say to such a really useful
08:36engine. Welcome Stafford. And everyone cheered.
