I've found manuals are much harder to come by than for standard DMUs given their limited operating bases and short timespan, resulting in fewer copies ever being distributed. These are the few I've managed to come across. The first is a set of GEC manuals, the firm having suppplied the traction equipment. I've volumes 1 (General Description and Operating Equipment), volume 2 (Control Gear and Maintenance), volume 3 (Electrical Machines Data and Maintenance), volume 5 (Spare Parts Catalogue - Control Equipment) and volume 6 (Spare Parts Catalogue - Machines). Obviously 4 is missing, was there any after 6?
Also a J. Stone manual, who supplied the air conditioning and lighting.
Finally, two Western Region Spare Manuals. One is labelled volume 5, so there's plenty more still to find!
