how were engines 87546 and 98462 were sent away beside being spiteful , do you have any headcanons?

Eek, very sorry to respond to this one so late. Hope you see this.

I have several incidents I favor, but the problem is that whenever I come up with another idea I immediately think "oh hey that'll make a really good fic." And I live in the possibly deluded hope that I will actually finish the fics one of these days, ssoooo... I don't want to discuss really specific ideas for the chain of events that led to 87546 and 98462 getting the boot.

But, generally speaking, there are a few angles that I favor:

1.I have doubts that they were both sent away as early as Thomas the Tank Engine/1925. I think they stuck on for a while, perhaps a long while. They just didn't get speaking parts in the books and there was seldom any reason to show them. (In particular, if they stayed on I think the Fat Controller had a specific policy of leaving them "behind" in the boonies Vicarstown to keep them and their bad influence separate from the rest of the fleet.) I also tend to imagine they played a significant role during the strike, but again, there was just no reason to include that in the books.

2. In general, I don't headcanon them as acting with any dramatic evilness. I sometimes write them that way in fic but that's because it's more fun to read. But I reckon they were really mostly just your run-of-the-mill "ill-mannered" engines, as we see later in all the Mean Boastful Diesels who fail their Sodor trials three or four decades later. And they're not even notably more ill-mannered than, like, Gordon was originally. They just never changed.

3. My most idiosyncratic take: I suspect that in some ways FC1 used these two as a scapegoat for his own shortcomings tbh. Like I think he grew remarkably as a human being and as a manager in his early years in the job, but I'm not sure he realized the extent to which he had grown and changed. Which is a very human thing to do.

Like, I headcanon Awdry saying they were "rude" as taken directly from how FC1 himself explained who these two engines were and why they were sent away. (Coz, like? We've seen the engines he didn't send away, lol. They can be very rude to their fellow engines too.) And I imagine FC1 first began to construct this useful little narrative when he realized that, like, Edward and Henry and James in particular were to varying degrees just bundles of anxiety in 1925. And when he noticed this (hey, in fairness to him, he must have been real busy until he signed that agreement with the L.M.S. that same year) he instinctively tried to help.

But—what? A powerful white guy, acknowledging that his shortcomings as a manager directly contributed to his underlings' distress? Hey, it happens sometimes, even a hundred years ago! But is that likely to be his first hypothesis? Nah. That's not how successful business people work—with hard-hitting introspection and shit.

And then there's 87546 and 98462, like, right there. No doubt visibly and audibly being right dicks to his troubled iron children.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself well, but I do headcanon FC1 being like "a-ha. now that i'm paying attention i see that they're bullying the other engines. they must be the sole reason some of my other engines are so tense and fearful whenever i see them! and, indeed, now that i've sent them away (or even just arranged that they're kept at a distance), the others are growing more confident. definitely not because i'm making more of an effort to be consistent and fair, and i'm no longer casting engines aside for long periods of time or threatening big punishments for relatively minor infractions. nah. it was all 87546 and 98462. what rotters. so insidiously toxic."

87546 and 98462: *just sitting there, pretty normal jocks whose braggadocio is not otherwise noteworthy*

Nothing against low level jobs really, but one of our engineering techs was only a food service worker before this. Like an associates does something for you (don't know if that's what he has even he may be a student) I guess, but no wonder these guys aren't ready for engineering.
