The Duke and Duchess of Boxford once moved from the Mainland to Sodor with their private engine, Spencer.
Biography[]
Thomas & Friends[]
The Duke and Duchess once bought a holiday home and had Stepney take their furniture to the house. The engines later helped to build them another summer house. They are good friends with Sir Topham and Lady Hatt and were among the important visitors in the sixteenth series.
They later attempted to get to Callan Castle for Lord Callan's birthday ball but had several difficulties getting there, such as when Spencer broke down, Stepney got stuck due to branches on the line and Bertie received a flat tyre. They finally arrived in time thanks to Mr. Percival and Harold. They also attended the Earl's Christmas Luncheon.
