98462and87546

98462 (Third Right) and 87546 (Second Left) in the sheds with Edward, Gordon, The Green Engine (who isn't Henry), and The Big Red Engine

98462 and 87546 are two blue tender engines that look similar to Gordon, who visited the railway in 1922.

Background[]

When the Reverend W. Awdry received correspondence asking about the other two in the shed - the other four being Edward, The Unnamed Green Engine, Gordon and The Red Engine - he replied that they were sent to the railway on trial, but were sent away for being rude and nasty. It is unknown what happened to them since the decline of steam, but they were most likely scrapped.

Persona[]

98462 and 87546 are rude, spiteful, impolite, and nasty.

Basis[]

It is unknown what type of engine 98462 and 87546 really are. 98462 looks like a cross between Edward and Gordon with a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement, no outside cylinders or motion, Stephenson valve gear and oval buffers. 87546 looks a cross between Gordon and Henry in his old shape with a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement, two-cylinder motion, Walschaerts valve gear and round buffers. 98462 may be based on a LNER B4, while 87546 may be based on a LNER K3.

Livery[]

98462 and 87546 are painted blue with red and yellow lining.
