Preserved Post World War 2 Southern Railway Electric Multiple Units

Waterloo & City car

  • Waterloo & City car 61 forms part of the National Railway Museum collection. Motor coach 61 was one of a batch of tube size cars built for the SR owned Waterloo & City line in 1940 by English Electric at Preston. Power is from two EE500 tractions motors with a maximum service speed of 35 mph. All other cars of this type were immediately broken up after replacement by 1990s generation trains. This car is now located at the Acton Depot of London's Transport Mueum.

4Sub Unit

  • 4732 consists of Motor Brake Open Second 12796, Trailer Second Compartment 10239, Trailer Open Second 12354 and Motor Brake Open Second 12796. Each motor coach weighs 39 tons and is powered by two axle hung traction motors mounted on the outer bogies. The trailers both weigh 28 tons. Each motor coach seats 82, the open trailer 102 and the compartment trailer 120, all second class.  4732 was formerly available for special workings, including charter by SEG railtours. 4732 was sold to a company associated with the Surburban Electric Railway Association at the Coventry Railway Centre.

4DD cars

Two 4DD units were constructed in 1949 at Lancing Works and were withdrawn from BR service in October 1971. Two 4DD motor coaches remain in existence.
