We use 3 sources for our guidence.

BR 1183 - Regulations for repairing wagons

BR 11819 - Regulations for the Guidance of Train Examiners and Oilers

BR11889 - Planned preventive maintenance schedule for BR freight stock and departmental vehicles.

For each vehicle we conduct a condition survey looking at the following;

Wheelset

Axle boxes

Suspension 

Underkeeps 

Underframe

Brake blocks

Brake hear

Brake safety loops

Handbrake

Brake cylinders

Brake hoses

Release chords

Buffers

Couplings

Drawhiok

Lamp brackets

Steps

Label clips

Door levers

Doors

Bodywork

Load

Handrails

Roof coverings

Chains

Ride height

And finally record any other details that stand out to us as requiring attention.  We then of course rectify remove or record as applicable.

We are not prepared to detail particulars as we are not an engineering authority and do not wish to be used as a source of technical information.  That is down to a particular railways safety case and how they wish to manage there own engineering processes.

We are happy to discuss privately and give advice and share our thoughts.

The GCR then provides an inderpendant assurance of our activities via there FTR examinations.
