He transported the Earl around and much to his embarrassment, had to pull some stones for the job. Sir Robert Norramby borrowed Spencer as his private engine during the restoration of Ulfstead Castle. After being rescued by Hiro, Spencer apologised to Thomas and Hiro and they all worked together to finish the summer house. He then got stuck in the mud when he chased Thomas to Knapford. Afterwards, Spencer lost his pride when his owners turned up for their holiday. When Spencer discovered Percy's mail vans (thinking that Thomas was hiding them from Percy), he got into trouble with the Fat Controller, who thought that Spencer was hiding the mail coaches all the time. However, Spencer neglected to build the new summer house when he became suspicious about Thomas, thinking he was being a tricky tank engine and ended up getting slate down his funnel at Sodor Slate Quarry. First, he insulted the other steam engines - especially Thomas by calling him a 'toy tank engine', which as a result they had a competition of strength. Spencer returned to Sodor to help build a new summer house for the Duke and Duchess of Boxford, much to the annoyance of all the engines. In 2008, Spencer is ready for competition and challenges Gordon to a race leading disastrous results.

The trucks zoom away and now Spencer has learnt his lesson. Unfortunately, Gordon is coming down the line and does not see the Troublesome Trucks and crashes into them. He plans to block Tidmouth Sheds with Troublesome Tru cks to block Mike in Tidmouth Sheds. When Mike the Arlesdale Railway Engine found his tender Spencer had losen his popularity. Spencer has since developed a rivalry with Thomas, with the latter often trying to outshine Spencer - largely without success.

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 lost to Edward, after Edward got onto the summer house branch line first. He ignored Gordon's warnings about taking on water and thus ran out on his hill however, he blamed the incident on a leaky tank, and had to rely on Gordon to take him to Maron. During his first visit to Sodor, Spencer took the Duke and Duchess of Boxford on a trip around Sodor.
