Ben04uk Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I have a copy of the book 'Slam Doors on the Southern' by Michael Welch but can anyone recommend any other good books that feature Southern Region EMU's, particularly in the 1970s and 1980's?

Spamcan Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi May I suggest: The Southern Electric Story By Michael H C Baker Silver Link Publishing ISBN 0 947971 85 8 . Covers 1930-1990s Southern Electric by John Glover Ian Allen ISBN 0 7110 2807 9 . Covers 1890-2000 Southern Electric (3rd Edition 1960) By G.T.Moody Ian Allen before ISBN issued. Covers 1900- 1960 phase 1 Kent coast Electrification Southern Electrics (A Pictorial Survey) Bryan Rayner D. Bradford Barton Ltd ISBN0 85153 220 9 . Covers 1890-1970 as the title states. It is best to order/ reserve copies from your local library before you purchase as they are £20 plus if you can find them and they may not cover the areas / dates of your interests.

10800 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 There are more Southern EMU books than you might think. Apart from those above (the Bradford Barton one is excellent but hard to find these days) I can suggest: Southern EMUs Before Privatisation in Colour - Bruce Oliver, Ian Allan 2010. Mostly blue and blue/grey period. First Generation Southern EMUs - Kevin Robertson, Ian Allan 2005. Up to and including Mk1 based stock. Southern EMUs in Colour - John C Morgan, Ian Allan 1994. Quite a bit of blue period photos, some NSE. Southern Electric - a New History - David Brown, Capital Transport, Volumes 1 and 2, 2010. New definitive history to 1983, Vol 1 concentrates on early history and suburban trains, Vol 2 on the main line electrifications. A Southern Electric Album - Michael Welch, Capital Transport 2003. Mostly covers BR green era. Southern Electric Album - Alan Williams, Ian Allan 1977. Southern Electric Multiple Units 1898-1948, and 1948-1983 - Colin Marsden, Ian Allan 1983. A Pictorial Record of Southern Electric Units, Drawings and Plans - Brian Golding, Noodle Books 2009. By the way, there is also a Southern Electrics group on RMWeb, so this might have been better posted there - but since it's here now I will provide a link.
