}}LMS Six-wheel Passenger Brake (BGZ) 2886 was an early Stanier design and was built in 1932 at Wolvertonto Diagram 1796 in Lot no. 664. In the 1940s these coaches were equipped with stoves and became nicknamed ‘Stove Rs’. The coach was later numbered 32919.
2886 was first purchased for preservation in 1970 and based on the Dart Valley Railway. 2886 arrived on the SVR in 1972 1971/2 and ran for several years as a temporary bar caruntil 1976, when the then owner started much needed panel repairs which unfortunately were never completed. It is owned By 1998 it was in use as a Tool Van by the [[The 4150 Fund]], and by 2006 it was stored under a tarpaulin north of [[Bridgnorth]] with some repanelling having taken place but otherwise very little progress towards restoration.<ref>SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref><ref>[http://www.cs.vintagecarriagestrust.org/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=662 Railway Heritage Register Carriage Survey]</ref>. In 2002 ownership passed through another member, thence in 2008 to the [[Severn Valley Railway Charitable Trust Ltd | The Severn Valley Railway Rolling Stock Trust]], now the SVR Charitable Trust.  Overhaul restarted prior to 2010, with an intention for the vehicle to become a reception vehicle for dining trains. In 2010 the Trust reported a Preservation of Industrial and Scientific Material (PRISM) Fund award of £9,251, which covered the materials for the rebuilt bodyshell in the first year of the build.<ref>[https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/sites/default/files/download-file/PRISM_Annual_report_2009_2010.pdf]] and PRISM Fund Annual Report2009-2010</ref> The extensive rebuild has included parts from now-demolished body of 33002 at Didcot. It was photographed in March 2015 undergoing an overhaul at Bridgnorth. With and, with the internal work done, it was moved to [[Carriage Repair Works|Kidderminster carriage works ]] on 20 Feb February 2016 for mechanical work & and completion of the exterior painting.
