BR(SR) DC and AC EMU record cards

Record cards, card, BR(SR) DC and AC EMU record cards, circa 1955 to 1992. 222 sets of record cards recording repairs, alterations, maintenance etc. of former Southern Railway DC EMUs now scrapped and later AC electric units. The cards were initially begun 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. Most of the cards cover whole units, but there are some for individual vehicles. Classes represented include: Class 415/1 (4 EPB, early examples built by BR based on SR construction including class pioneer 5001); 415/4 (refurbished 4EPB stock of Southern design from 1980 numbered in the 54xx series); Class 413/2 & 3 (4CAP BR-built units converted in 1982 by combining 2 x 2-HAP units together); Class 302 (AC units, AM2 pre-TOPS); Class 310 (AC units, AM10 pre-TOPS, built for the West Coast Main Line but later operated on the London Tilbury & Southend service).
