It is a Churchward design incorporating the later developments of the ‘toplights’ era. Unusually, 3930 made extensive use of sheet steel rather than traditional timber for interior and exterior panelling. It was also fitted with “Fishbelly” 9 ft bogies, which were lighter than the traditional “American” type.
After ending passenger service, 3930 saw Departmental use as number DW 150011. It was purchased by [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]] from Barry in November 1967, where it had been in use as a mess / sleeping van. It was stored at Highley for some years before undergoing a 5 year restoration to a high standard, finishing with a repaint in 2007 into GWR 1922-27 livery featuring the ‘garter crest’ logo. It is normally used in the ‘Toplights’ set.
