41277 was bought by [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund]] in 1984 at Sharpness Docks,<ref>GWR813.org</ref> where it is believed it had been since being condemned by the GWR in 1935.<ref name=SB9/> It was stripped down, shotblasted and primed there before being transported to Kidderminster by road, arriving on 18 September 1986. From there it was moved to Bewdley on [[GWR 42138 'Loriot D' Machinery Truck|Loriot D 42138]].<ref>SVR News 82</ref> Restoration was completed over the following winter, including replacing the curb rails, and rebuilding of the timber bodywork. The running gear received new bearings while the journals were also overhauled. Finally the wagon was repainted and lettered in original 1890s style.<ref>SVR News 84</ref>.
41277 is operational and is normally based awaiting restoration at Bewdley.
