Some have theorised that 98462 is an LNER B12 and 87546 is an LNER B17. In the latter's case, however, B17s were not built until 1928. Alternatively, 87546 bears a resemblance to an LBSCR K Class 2-6-0 from 1917. |

87546 and 98462 were two blue tender engines who visited Sodor.
Biography
The Railway Series
In 1923, two blue engines without names, only known by their numbers - 87546 and 98462 - were sent to the North Western Railway on trial. They were horrid engines and were very spiteful and mean to poor Edward, so the Fat Director decided to send them away[1].
The two engines stayed at Vicarstown Sheds during their visit, where they notably teased Edward with the other engines for being small[2].
Personalities
According to Wilbert Awdry, 87546 and 98462 were horrid rude engines who were very mean and spiteful to the others.
Technical Details
Basis
It is unknown what type of engine 87546 and 98462 really are.
87546 is only seen in one illustration, where he appears to have outside cylinders and inside steam pipes. Although his wheel arrangement is unknown, it is known that he has at least two leading wheels.
98462, on the other hand, appears in three illustrations. In the first, he appears to have inside cylinders and steam pipes, however in the second he has outside cylinders with inside steam pipes and Walschaerts valve gear. 98462 appears to have either a 4-4-2, 4-6-0 or 4-6-2 wheel arrangement.
Livery
In the first illustration of Edward's Day Out, 87546 and 98462 are painted NWR bright blue with brass boiler bands. In the second illustration, 98462 has red boiler bands and lining.
