The plate 2x6 sounds very surprising to me. Maybe some brick historians can
answer this question.
1. Peeron says about the plate 2x6: 1966 gray in 112-2, 1967 white in 371-2,
then nine years nothing, 1977 in five colours. The database is not 100%
complete, but the 9-year gap is strange.
2. In the 112-2 and 371-2 instructions, the 2x6 is not clearly visible.
Combinations of 2x3 + 2x3 or 2x2 + 2x4 could be used instead. (In the 1977 sets
instructions the 2x6 is evident.)
3. Between 1966 and 1977 many sets use plates 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, although 2x6 would
be more suitable. For example: 113-2, 116-1, 119-1, 123-1, 131-1, 137-2,
182-1... see the roofs of the passenger cars and box cars. (I'm a rail fan.)
Were there really plates 2x6 in 1966/67, or maybe only protoypes?

| The Inventory for 112-2 on Peeron is wrong! Please have a look at the inventory on Bricklink where it is correct. As I own this set I can confirm that it has no Plate 2 x 6. To see how it has to be build, look at my personal OMR on my webside (...) (17 years ago, 2-Sep-07, to lugnet.inv, lugnet.parts)
