Study Notes
Stores Nomenclature and Price Lists
- Standard classification of railway stores is strictly followed.
- Railway stores are divided into 75 groups.
- The group number is the first two digits of the price list number.
Major Groups and Descriptions
- Detailed descriptions of various parts and fittings for steam locomotives, non-IRS locomotives (both BG and MG), rail mounted steam cranes, rail mounted diesel cranes, diesel locomotives, and electric locomotives (DC and AC types) are listed by group number.
- Specific details include models (e.g., WDM1, WDM2, WDS5, YDM4, YDM4A), components, and power packs.
- Some groups are unified and have a single price list number across all railways.
- Unified group details and responsible railways are in Appendix II.
Standard Nomenclature of Stores
- Each store item should have a unique number in the nomenclature list.
- The naming arrangement utilizes the store item's name, a detailed description, and its purpose.
- Items without a sufficient description are assigned codes using the standard nomenclature.
- Standard specifications and drawings of materials are part of the price list and must be referenced.
Pricing of Stores
- Purchase price for new stores is the current market rate, or the average book rate, or the lower of the two.
- For workshop-manufactured stores, prices are fixed half yearly.
- Scrap values are revised at regular intervals, generally every year.
