==34606 in service and preservation==
BR Mark 1 Brake Second Corridor (BSK) 34606 was built at Gloucester in 1955 to diagram number Diagram 181(AB201), lot number Lot 30141. It entered service in the Eastern region in May 1955. In April 1977 it was later transferred in to Departmental use as a BTU Tool & Generator van and given the Departmental number DB ADB 975481. It left service circa March 2010.<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2013)]] pp.60, which it now carries161.</ref>
34606 arrived on the SVR in 2012 from the Great Central Railway, having been purchased by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]]. It is converted with roller shutter doors and is used in conjunction with the Santa services, for which it is normally located in the bay platform opposite Kidderminster Railway Museum as seen in the photograph. At other times it is normally stored in or around the [[Kidderminster Carriage Shed|carriage shed]]. It carries the later Departmental number but without the 'A' prefix which denoted use by the Mechanical & Electrical Engineers department.
