3930 was purchased by the [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]] from Barry on 29 November 1967. Some limited restoration work was carried out in the late 1960s, including replacing the missing compartments and repairing the frame work and end panelling. A temporary coat of paint and lettering was applied so that 3930 could be used in filming [[The Signalman]] in 1976.<ref name=GWRSVRA/>
