This is a genuine original Vehicle Repair and Delay Record Book removed from Class 143 Pacer unit 143616, preserved following the unit’s withdrawal from mainline service.

Vehicle repair and delay books were essential operational documents, used by traincrew and engineering staff to log defects, faults, delays, and maintenance issues encountered during daily service. These records offer a rare insight into the working life of a passenger unit beyond what is seen by the public.

This example comes directly from an operational Class 143 unit and reflects the everyday realities of regional rail operation during the later years of Pacer service.

The book remains in original condition, displaying authentic signs of operational use that add to its provenance and historical value.

All proceeds from this sale directly support Heritage Traction Preservation and are reinvested into the maintenance, restoration, and long-term preservation of our heritage fleet.
