RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 10, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ahh, 37s make the world a better place, their like a trusty old donkey. Incidentally what's the meaning of 'Six-eights'? The original series was D6700-D6999/D6600-D6608 I believe the "six-eights" term is mainly South Wales in origin as many of the D68xx series were first allocated there.

Fat Controller Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The original series was D6700-D6999/D6600-D6608 I believe the "six-eights" term is mainly South Wales in origin as many of the D68xx series were first allocated there. Cheers, Mick It was usually 'six-eighter', sometimes split into 'six-sixer', 'six-eighter' and 'six-niner' by the locals when I started spotting in about 1966-7. If an Eastern one turned up on the Whitemoor- Trostre, that was a SIX-SEVENER, and we'd all be on our push-bikes going to Llandilo Junction to see it- usually arriving too late. By that time, the lowest numbered WR EE Type 3 was D6877, I think, but six-eighter remained the generic name for the centre-headcode ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
