locomotives In 6xxxx Series Renumbering.

Not yet renumbered: 67208, 68667, 68668, 68669 (68669 withdrawn from service 16/10/50). Note: In a few instances the records do not seem to be up-to-date, particularly in the case of service stock: e.g. 68667 was seen at Stratford 2/3/49, 68668 , and 68669 , so that these may have been renumbered somewhat earlier: also 67208 was seen there 19/11/49 and is said to have been done at least by mid-September. Other earlier recorded dates from observations are 60523 an 68129 by 8/1/49 and 67198 by 19/11/49. |
