Spencer

Spencer is a sleek, shiny, silver, tender engine privately owned by the Duke and Duchess of Boxford, in Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. One reason he is famous is because he is based off of the famous British Railways Class LNER A4 locomotive, for example, the Mallard! Like his cousin Gordon, he is pompous and arrogant, and only cares for himself. He even thinks he is too important to pull freight cars, and usually shows disrespect towards the sodor engines, which for a strange reason, he hates and loves discriminating them, as seen in Hero of the Rails, the movie in which his villainous side is more displayed, and when he sees Hiro, all he wants to do is have him scrapped, but his boastful and selfish ways give him bad karma when he falls into a marshland, while trying to stop Thomas from telling Sir Topham Hatt about Hiro. After Hiro and Thomas rescue him, Spencer apologises to the two, and they all build the summer house together. Since after that, Spencer is shown to be less of a villain, but is still pompous and arrogant, but has gotten on well with the other engines from time to time, much to the delight of Thomas fans.
