87546 and 98462 are two blue tender engines who once visited the North Western Railway on trial from a railway on the Mainland. In 1923, two blue engines known only by their numbers - 87546 and 98462 - were sent to the North Western Railway on trial.

Jan 25, 2021 · You can guess all day if you want to, but the short stumpy funnels and curved footplate fronts were pretty common in engine designs across the LNER. It's possible 87546 could have been an B16, but he also could be an A1, B9, B1, a K4, or a C9 even.

98462 was actually B16 No.925 and was bought on loan to the NWR. He was cruel to the other engines and shortly after Gordon was bought was sent away. He ended up being destroyed in a air raid during 1942 along with another lner A4. 87546 is a 4-4-2 design who was trailed on the NWR and was sent away after a accident with the wildnorwester.

However, in TAOS, he appears to resemble the LNER B16, which was a potential basis prediction for 87546. His livery is Cerulean with Red Lining, and has his number on his tender with a black running board.

87546 is based on a LNER B16. He is painted blue with black and gold lining, a red running plate and a white running board. 98462 and 87546 were explained by Wilbert Awdry when he was asked about the other engines in the shed in The Three Railway Engines.

87546 is an LNER K3. 98462 is a B16, just search up RWS 98462 and B16 Locomotive and look at the similarities. 87546's unknown.

Oct 12, 2019 · (AU stuff after this point) While 87546's true number has yet to be discovered, 98462's was discovered when it was confirmed that he was the same B16 that was killed alongside the LNER A4 "Sir Ralph Wedgwood" in WW2

Mar 6, 2021 · 87546 is an lner b17 and 98462 is an lner b12 but that’s my opinion . 1. Duckgwrpanniertank8 ... @Duckgwrpanniertank8 Or he could have been an LNER B16. 1.

Oct 6, 2018 · Anyways, it appears 87546 is depicted with 2 front pilot wheels instead of 4, so a 2-6-0 instead of a 4-6-0 like 98462, the closest resemblance to the character is an LNER K1 (& closest in terms of chronology).

While some see 87546 as a B17, I see him as a B16, since they were built before 1922, and B17s wouldn't come for another six years. In the Middleton illustrations, the red engine that tried to push Henry out of the tunnel was a 4-6-2, the same engine that teased Edward.
