SR/BR(S) Coach Sets
| The information on this page is not intended to be chapter and verse on this most
intricate of topics, but is an indication of the composition of various coach sets at particular
times. The page is collated from the members' files area and draws heavily on information
supplied by Glen Woods, with information in David Gould's "Maunsell's SR Steam
Passenger Stock 1923-1939", Mike King's "Southern Pull-Push Stock", CWNs from
the Martin White Collection and additional information from John Arkell and Mike Watts. It is not
complete, indeed it may never be, but is an on-going project to provide information on sets to the
Southern enthusiast and modeller alike. Where a coach number is followed by another number in
brackets, then this is that coach's previous number. Where a tilde has replaced a number this
is because the coach concerned could be changed (e.g. as with RMBs). The dates are not intended to
define changes in the sets but merely an anchor in time for when they were constituted as shown.
They may well have remained unchanged for a number of years before or after the date shown. Don't forget - third class was abolished in 1956, becoming second class, subsequently standard class. No separate entry has been made for this change as it would add unecessarily to the file size so please remember that from 1956 anything that is still showing as 'T' has become 'S', e.g. BTK becomes BSK. The new notation is used next time there is a tangible change for a set. Also included is a listing of Maunsell and Bulleid coaches by number and with the appropriate code, as listed in David Gould's Maunsell's and Bulleid's SR Steam Passenger Stock books. A start has been made on classifying sets as: Articulared (Art),Pull-Push sets shown are designated PP A few sets show either/or coach numbers (e.g. 426 and 429 of 1931). This is where we know a coach was removed from a set, but do not know which one was removed!
