87546 and 98462

98462 and 87546 are two blue tender engines.

Bio
When the Reverend W. Awdry received correspondence asking about the other two engines in the shed - the other four being Edward, Henry, Gordon and The Red Engine - he replied that they were on the railway on "trial", but were sent away for being rude and nasty. It is not known what happened to them since the decline of steam.

In the Sodor Island Forum's "Extended Railway Series" thread, 87546 and 98462 are given their numbers, after not being mentioned in their one appearance in the RWS. "The Useful Little Engine" is also their first proper introduction.
