Re: Melbourne 881 971 in depot

In the future I'll just refer to this type as W.

Why have these "class" designations anyway? Why not refer to them by
number, such as 800s etc. like they do in most of the rest of the world?

To add even more to the confusion there were some W5s

converted to W5 fairly quickly - they carried numbers
681 to 685.

Not that quickly. They were built in 1935 and not converted to W5s
until 1956.
