Maintenance Manuals

I've found manuals are much harder to come by than for standard DMUs. Their limited operating bases and short timespan resulted in fewer copies ever being distributed. These are the few I've managed to come across.

GEC

The firm supplied the traction equipment. I have all but volume 4:

• Volume 1 - General Description and Operating Equipment
• Volume 2 - Control Gear and Maintenance
• Volume 3 - Electrical Machines Data and Maintenance
• Volume 4 - ?
• Volume 5 - Spare Parts Catalogue - Control Equipment
• Volume 6 (Spare Parts Catalogue - Machines

The J. Stone Group

This company supplied the auxiliary power equipment, air conditioning and lighting.

The manual describes the equipment and contains a number of schematic drawings.

Two examples of spare parts manuals (with a close up of the label from the blue one). One is labelled volume 5, so there are plenty more still to find!
