SREmG

SR Research Centre

No website could ever provide anyone, whether they be knowledgeable "old hands" or new to the topic, with absolutely all the information they might want or need about the Southern Railway, its ancestors and successors!
 
However, this part of the SREmG website is developing into a comprehensive research tool to steer you in the direction of appropriate sources of information.
 
It is pulling together existing parts of the SREmG website related to the prototype (many of which have been revised), contain new features, and provide appropriate links or addresses.
  • Books: Books are an excellent reference source. SREmG member John Russell is collating a comprehensive list of Southern Railway related books from information supplied by SREmG members who between them have a large library

  • Photographs: Photographs are an invaluable source of information to the enthusiast, historian or modeller alike. We are very fortunate that we are able to reproduce some of the lists of photographs in the "Lens of Sutton" collection of some 700,000 photographs.
