The Railway Series: The 'B' Class Bullies

by TARDIS9

A visiting engine on Sodor is subject to some very unfair treatment by Gordon, and learns the truth from Edward: that he resembles one of two engines who caused nothing but trouble on the railway. These stories tell of the subsequent demise of two engines who never made it into the books, because of their behaviour: 98462 and 87546.

DEAR FRIENDS,

When a visitor received a cold reception from some of the Fat Controller's engines, it made the newcomer feel distressed and unwelcome. The engine in question was an LNER B12, called Beyer, from the North Norfolk Railway, who suffered greatly at the hands of Gordon, owing to some bad memories. This is because one former member of the North Western Railway fleet was of the same class, and was badly behaved, as was another engine, an LNER B17. I speak, of course, of 98462 and 87546, the two rudest steam engines to grace (or should I say DISgrace?) Sudrian metals. But when it came to their fatal accident, the engines say they brought their fate upon themselves. See what you think.
