Info added
All four carriages survived into preservation, with [[GWR 9084 First Sleeper | 9084]] also on the SVR (9082 was a [[Carriages formerly resident on the SVR | former resident]] when first preserved, before moving elsewhere).
9085 arrived on the SVR in on 5 January 1971 from Didcot, having been acquired by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]]. It is normally parked at the end of Siding 2 at [[Arley]] station, where it is used for staff accommodation. In recent years it has been finished in non-authentic GWR 1942-47 livery, with the coat of arms insignia flanked by 'GREAT' and 'WESTERN'. During June 2017 it received a contract repaint at [[Bridgnorth MPD]]; when photographed in July 2017 it had returned to Arley although the 'coat of arms' had not been reinstated.
