A Pictorial Record of Southern Electric Units Drawings and Plans: v. 1 (Closed Lines of Britain) - Hardcover

In 1995, Brian Golding produced what quickly came to be regarded as the definitive book on Diesel Multiple Unit drawings and plans. In this new volume, he turns his attention to the Electric Multiple Units of the Southern, following a similar format with an outline history, photographs and plans of each type. The author's drawings are meticulously detailed, including variations within sets as well as seating information. He has drawn on a wealth of published information to compile what will surely become the standard reference work on the EMU, in addition calling on the advice and opinions of authoritative sources as well as studying the prototype. This new book covers the EMU sets operated by the LSWR, LBSCR, SR and BR through to the end of the 'slam-door' era, as well as the various conversions that took place. With an impressive range of information and a lovely colour section, this new book will be of immense interest to the historian and an invaluable reference source for all SR modellers.
