British Rail: Southern Region (BR(SR)) Direct Current (DC) Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) record cards

Record cards, card, BR(SR) DC EMU record cards, circa 1955 to 1992. 82 sets of record cards recording repairs, alterations, maintenance etc. of former Southern Railway DC EMUs now scrapped. The cards initially begun by Southern Railway (Chief Electrical Engineers Department) and were continued by British Railways (Southern Region) and British Rail (Southern Region) before passing to Eversholt Leasing at privatisation and subsequently HSBC Rail (UK) Ltd. The sets consist of numerous cards stapled together, but they may not reflect the whole repair history, as maintenance was later logged electronically. Classes represented are: Class 415/6 (4 EPB, partly constructed from former 4 SUB trailers); Class 416/2 (2 EPB, BR designed); Class 416/3 (2 EPB, SR designed and later "facelifted"); Class 416/4 (2 EPB, BR designed and later "facelifted").
