31/08/1951 Unreported E.R. renumberings locomotives In 6xxxx Series Renumbering. As it appeared that the weekly advices were occasionally incomplete, enquiries were made of the Public Relations Officers concerned, who have supplied the following dates: 1948: 60018 (16/10). 1949: 61747 8/1, 61652 5/4, 60523 14/5, 67444 24/9, 60522 29/9, 61663 19/11, 61910 (21/12). 1950: 60945 4/2, 68129 5/4, 67155 15/4, 61249 1/6, 61248 2/6, 65699 and 69095 28/10, 65530 18/11, 68730 (15/12). 1951: 67198 22/3, 68816 21/5, 63460 (29/6). Not yet renumbered: 67208, 68667, 68668, 68669 (68669 withdrawn from service 16/10/50).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. SLS/195110
