They were built as Lot No 1702 to Diagram J18 and were a Hawksworth design, with the characteristic sloping roof-ends and flat body-side profile.
As new these four cars were finished in BR crimson and cream, and by withdrawal in the early 1970s had been repainted in BR maroon. They had ten berths, each compartment having one bed with a sink, luggage racks, coat hangers, shaver points, and forced-air heating. Each carriage also had a compartment for an attendant at one end and a lavatory at the other.
9084 is normally parked in the bay platform at [[Kidderminster]] station, where it is used for staff accommodation. It is finished in a non-original GWR 1942-47 livery, with the coat of arms insignia flanked by 'GREAT' and 'WESTERN'.
