Restoration update
===SVR(H) ownership and intended conversion===
In March 2017 the GW(SVR)A and SVR(H)exchanged 5043 for [[GWR 4786 Full Third]]. Restoration will be carried out by [[The LNER (SVR) Coach Fund]] and this coach will become their next project on completion of the restoration of [[GWR 17410 'Toad' 20T Goods Brake Van]].<ref>[http://www.svrlive.com/kr-by-c-and-w SVRLive 30 March 2017]</ref>
An Association A GW(SVR)A member prepared General Arrangement drawings of several options to aid design and development work. The plan is to have saloon accommodation for disabled passengers and their companions at one end and an accessible buffet counter at the other. Entry will be via central double doors with an adjacent disabled WC. The external appearance will be of a GWR H33 composite Kitchen Diner, and for ease of maintenance it will be as rebuilt in 1937 with flush sided steel panelling. <ref>[http://forum.svra.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=50670#50670 SVR Unofficial Form 30 May 2016]</ref> The General Arrangement drawing, prepared by Peter Simpson of the GW (SVR) A, of the proposal can be viewed as a pdf at File:http://www.svrwiki.com/version1241/images/f/f8/5043_elevation_drg_v4c-2a.pdfFittings are currently being sourced, a condition survey has commenced, and costings being prepared. Finally to help improve its appearence the underframe is being cleaned and painted.
