	British Rail Class 311 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Rail Class 311 electric multiple unit was built by Cravens at Sheffield in 1967.
		Outwardly, the units were very similar to the earlier Class 303 units built in 1960.
		This unit was the former Class 936 sandite unit, no. 936103, formed of 977844+977845+977846.

	British Rail Class 447 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Class 447 was the designation given to the Electric multiple unit trains that would have run the shuttle services (branded the Battersea Bullet) between London Victoria and the entertainment complex planned for the site of the former Battersea Power Station.
		Three units were planned, each of four cars, and since the trains would have been privately owned by the operator of the entertainment complex, British Rail allocated carriage numbers 99470-99481 (from the private owner carriage series) for the individual vehicles.
		It is unlikely that the Class 447 design will be revived, even if work ever resumes at the Battersea site.

	Steve's Page on British Rail Diesels - The "Hoover" (class 50)
		All 50 of the locomotives in the class entered service in BR blue and yellow livery and while the numbering changed with the introduction of TOPS and the position and size of the BR arrow symbol has varied their appearance changed little over the years prior to the first livery change in 1980.
		This class of locomotive was the first to be leased from the manufacturing company rather than being purchased outright by British Rail but ten years later when the lease expired the locomotives were purchase by BR (for use on the Western Region) rather than renewing the lease.
		The original intention was to class "Warships" as the names given to each of the locomotives were those of famous warships but it was still too soon after the demise of the class 42/3 Warships and the reuse of that name was not acceptable to the public.

	ALCo-GE-IR Boxcabs Bibliography
		Oct-Dec 1992, "Baltimore's Fells Point"; this superb series describes and pictures the home of 1895 GE 5-ton electric boxcab B&O #4 and 1909 successor GE 10-ton electric boxcab B&O #10, the B&O 0-4-0T Little Joes, and finally a 1954 Cat DT-1 rubber-tired tractor (reprint of 1991 B&ORRHS series).
		In the foregoing (Hollingsworth) listing, I've included some historic units and some "flyers", locomotives that I never really thought of as boxcabs but which clearly fit the bill or should be covered as "honorary" boxcabs.
		This book is very British, with some really outrageous claims that can not be substantiated and others that are definitely arguable; these are covered in the applicable texts where they appear on my Boxcab pages
