Coaching Stock including Diesel & Electric units
(1959 1965)

 

Condemned 4 SUB at Hove in May 1963
Ian Nolan

 

This file contains summaries of some weekly returns submitted by Rolling Stock Inspectors regarding condemned coaching stock and the disposal of such to breakers. I have added x Set xxx information and this applies to any coaches in that line of text to the right. Loose coaches have no further information shown. There are also items of correspondence regarding other issues such as transfers of vehicles to departmental stock etc.

Some entries for 1960 are missing.

Where information has been added for clarity by BloodandCustard this is shewn in a different font and titles not unlined.

Abbreviations

There is a certain amount of abbreviations and internal jargon, but most of it is fairly understandable in the context.

Some frequently used ones are such as V 3-60 (vehicle last varnished in March 1960), CI (cast iron) brake blocks (NF is non-ferrous a-lso known as TBL blocks), E, H or Heavy (next classified repair due on the vehicle) [this was before the later BR system of C1, C2, C4, C5, C6 etc].

SP dates (also S Proposal) were the Inspector s proposed dates for the units to go into works.

Several Inspectors used abbreviations such as M.S.B. for Motor Brake Second. In the interests of clarity and modern computer searches these have been amended to the current convention (MBS etc).

There are others such as GD (former Guildford & Dorking) stock, Contractor stock (refers to former contractor-built units, the GD stock nos.1285 1310 (later nos.4300 4325) on shorter underframes and nos.1496 1524 (later nos.4325 4350), as these units had a lot of detail differences to the bulk of the SUB fleet.

There are some references to changing buffers on suburban units when reforms were needed, the standard arrangement being both MBS coaches were female , the original centre trailer male at both ends, and the augmenting vehicle as female one end, and male the other.

Letters & Numbering

There are frequent references to the conventions of numbering /lettering various items on a vehicle to identify them. Bogies were A + B (driver over the A bogie) with the adjacent trailer being B + A, so a 4-car sets had bogies arranged ABBAABBA. (was different on 3-car sets of course ABBABA).

Wheels were numbered round a coach with No.1 wheel under the offside of the cab, then No.2 behind on that bogie, No.3 wheel was the leading one on the next bogie followed by No.4, then No.5 wheel was opposite, then nos.6 8. The driver sat over No. 8 wheel and the axles were therefore 1 & 8 pair, 2 & 7 pair, 3 & 6 pair and 4 & 5 pair. Trailers had similar arrangements, a small white downward pointing arrow low down on the bodyside pointed at No. 1 wheel.

Doors were lettered so an 8-bay suburban motor coach had A H (A at the brakevan end) and 10 compartment trailers were A K (as I was not used).

Lights & Lamps

Windows are described usually as lights so there were door droplights, lights, large sidelights (usually shown as L/S/L), fixed vent lights, sliding vent lights etc.

The driver s window was the driver s observation light.

Light bulbs were called lamps .

 

 

 

 

BloodandCustard hopes these notes help to explain this file and make understanding the notes easier. If we have got anything wrong, please let us know!

More importantly BloodandCustard is deeply grateful to two people in respect of these notes:

Glen Woods for allowing John Atkinson to borrow these notebooks which are lodged with the Bluebell Railway Archives.

Glen is similarly working on many other documents too and is the author behind that excellent book Lancing 1956 (St Petroc InfoPublishing - ISBN 978 0956 7655 29).

John Atkinson for painstakingly copying out these notebooks; his intention being to (hopefully) make this information more easily available to many.

 

Finally, if anyone can add to this subject, we would be most grateful. In addition, there is much discussion on John Atkinson s Blood and Custard Discussion Group on Facebook.

Displacement of Steam Coaching Stock.

 

Your letter of the 1st May 1961

The 17 vehicles formed in 4-4 coach E sets , plus one odd BSK, to Route Restriction 1, have been inspected, they are in reasonable condition, both interior, exterior, the corridor side building rails in some instances are a little puffy in the centre of the vehicles, particularly below the droplights in the dummy doors, but they should not cause any undue concern for the remainder of their extended and expected life, and should take another intermediate repair in 1962 if so desired.

The 17 vehicles to be withdrawn to offset these mentioned above have not all been found, I give below the numbers of the vehicles seen and reason for their withdrawal subject to your approval.

1. No. 1198, withdrawn, broken up @ Newhaven.

2. No. 1209, withdrawn, broken up @ Newhaven.

3. No. 1216, withdrawn, broken up @ Newhaven.

4. No. 1313, withdrawn at Lancing 2-5-61, hold for future SV.

5. No. 1335 OS. Diag No. 2005, Built 1933, P5-52, V10-58.

Very bad condition, haunches and waistrails rotted below the side droplights,

Wear & tear defects, bent headstocks, due for E repair, taken out of traffic because of

bad condition in March.

Too bad for SV.

6. No. 1337 OS. Diag No. 2005, Built 1933, P7-50, V2-58.

Similar bad condition to No. 1335 beyond reasonable maintenance, rejected as P&P

conversion in Mid 1959 on condition.

Too bad for SV.

Work Study Accommodation.

The work study group at Hither Green have taken over the withdrawn Ramsgate Motive Power Van No. DS.1595 at Hither Green and using it as an office, having fitted it with electric lighting from the power supply. This vehicle is not required and was due for breaking-up.

I let these people know that they had no authority to take the vehicle, no doubt they could obtain one through the proper channels.

Under the circumstances, as they are now established will you agree to this vehicle being transferred to Work Study at Hither Green and allocate it and advise them accordingly.

The Motive Power markings to be obliterated and Work Study painted on.

Withdrawn stock at Micheldever

Thanks for your list of vehicles received this morning. With reference to move of 2nd inst. re next train to Newhaven.

I have been requested not to break-up Set 385 Push & Pull as the Bluebell Railway are interested in purchasing it. Will you please therefore substitute BCK 6600 and BSK 3790 on the train to Newhaven for the 13th inst. Both these are in order as far as the C&W side goes.

I very much regret any inconvenience this may cause you but trust you will be able to overcome the same.

WORK STUDY ACCOMMODATION

 

With reference to your letter of 1st November, I note that M.P. Breakdown Van No. DS 1595 has been taken over by a work study group, but in view of the fact that I have only this week been strongly pressed by the Accountant to dispose of all displacements as quickly as possible, there appears to be no alternative but to ask the people at present using the van to vacate it.

Will you kindly follow up on these lines and let me know the result.

 

 

Inspector Tozer s reply

Ref: - RS.51/1/7/D

 

WORK STUDY ACCOMMODATION

 

Referring to your letter of the 9th instant, I have seen Mr White who is in charge of the work study group at Hither Green and informed him that he must vacate the van No. DS 1595 ex Motive Power Staff Van. He regrets having to vacate it because although realising he had no right to take the van he must ask for a Work Study Coach to be made available at Hither Green and in the meantime would like permission to retain this van.

I might mention they have fitted the van with light and running water etc. It is in reasonable condition and I recommend it be transferred to this group rather than incur the unnecessary expense of a further conversion.

MOBILE OFFICE ACCOMMODATION FOR WORK STUDY TEAMS

The South West Line Manager requires an open type coach at Richmond for Work Study purposes. It will be necessary for the vehicle to be fitted with electric lighting and power points for three electric heaters, together with padlocks for the doors and as it will move from point to point over approximately three years I would like you to call a meeting with Mr. Taylor s representative and also Mr. Keeling to determine exactly what is required and where the coach will be stationed from time to time, this latter being vitally necessary in regard to power supplies, which the Outdoor Machinery Section will be expected to provide.

Will you please, therefore, proceed on these lines and let me have, in due course, an estimated cost of the repairs and conversion, whilst in regard to the facilities to be provided by the Outdoor Machinery Section, I am asking Mr. Hoare to let me have this information.

Mr. Tozer will earmark a suitable vehicle and so far as traffic representation at the meeting is concerned contact should be made with Waterloo Extension 2681/2.

In regard to all cars sent to you, in addition to the Propane Gas equipment you may think it desirable to also recover the Stills boilers for re-use but no stripping other than this should be carried out to Nos. 7939 and 7954 as the interior lay-out may prove ideally suitable for static mess rooms.

3 Set No. 810 Leaky roofs

Contractor built Set No. 810 built 1948, last General Repair 4-58, v9-60, last v 10-62 carded from Bournemouth to Clapham Junction for leaky roofs throughout. I have inspected the set and agree the roof canvas is porous, there are numerous cracks in the paint allowing the rain to soak into the canvas and there are several canvas patches. I feel sure this set has been involved in some heavy shunting quite recently, there are tell-tale cracks in the paint between the ceilings and partitions, some sliding door lock catches adrift and the brake end headstocks are slightly bent behind the buffers.

Apart from the bad roof the set is in reasonably good condition , I can only recommend roof re-cover and intermediate repair now.

Memo from: - Mech. & Elec. Engineer (General) Eastleigh

 

MESSRS. BERTRAM MILLS CIRCUS

 

I am advised by the General Manager that the proprietors of Messrs Bertram Mills Circus do not propose to arrange a tour train for next year and in consequence the passenger vehicles allocated to this traffic, i.e. SK s Nos. 1808, 1822, 1878, 1901 1904 and 1914 may be withdrawn after termination of the existing tour at Ascot which I understand was yesterday.

 

In regard to SK No. 1914 I am advised that this vehicle was stopped on the London Midland Region and I have requested Mr. Robson to arrange condemnation and disposal.

 

Will Mr. Tozer please advise me in the usual way so that I can obtain disposal for the remainder through the Scrap Sales Controller.

 

 

11-11-64

Messrs. Bertram Mills Circus

 

I understand that the six coaches allocated to the above mentioned circus traffic are now no longer required for that purpose. The numbers are SK s 1808, 1822, 1878, 1901 and 1904 now berthed at Ascot, and 1914 is detained by the London Midland Region under card for defects and they will dispose of it. Will you please have the five at Ascot marked with the withdrawal symbol and advise this office as soon as you have done so. Thanking you in anticipation.

With reference to your letter of 7th instant.

 

Having received authority and withdrawn a vehicle, the nearest depot is told to put the withdrawn symbol on, all cards are removed, the General Manager s RS Office advised and the vehicles then become the responsibility of the Operating Department. A weekly return is made from this office to RSO Eastleigh who in turn make a return to the Scrap Sales Managers who then make sales and sends details to RSO Eastleigh. Eastleigh then informs the GM s and this office of the various sales orders giving disposal destinations. From then on, this office cooperates with marshalling the stock and advising the respective Line Managers.
