The NB type 2's may well have been nicknamed "Sadeyes" - not one I know but seems appropriate. My old ian Allan ABC reveals underlinings under nearly every one from D6100 to D6157 and I applied little red dots to those which had pulled a train on which I'd been on. (10 little red dots!) They became class 29's but I can't really recall in words how they sounded other than describing it as "uninteresting"!
