98480 was acquired from the PBA by [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund]] in 1981,<ref>GWR813.org</ref> arriving on the SVR on 19 February 1982.<ref name=SB9/> It received a ‘quick repaint’ shortly after arrival, although other rectification work was left to a later date.<ref>SVR News 66</ref>
98480 was subsequently stored at [[Kidderminster]], deemed to be in unusable condition. During 1986 it was moved to [[Bewdley ]] for overhaul. This included welding repairs to cracks in the framework and the replacement of curb rails which the PBA had removed to gain access to the floor planks without stripping the sides down. The brake gear also received attention and the wagon entered service after being repainted.<ref name=SVR82/>
In July 2012 98480 was photographed at [[Kidderminster,]]<ref>Sharpo’s World</ref> but by the following month it had been moved into storage in the [[Tenbury Branch|Tenbury Siding at Bewdley]].<ref>Gareth Price photo</ref>
