==Preservation==
107291 arrived from Round Oak on 22 March 1971, having been acquired for preservation by the [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc.|The Great Western (SVR) Association]].<ref group="note">The GW(SVR)A was only formed in 1973 by the merger of two earlier organisations. SVR Stock Books before then showed the ownership as 'SVR Members'.</ref> It was quickly restored for use in service as a P.W. vehicle, that use being interrupted by a brief spell as a mock 'Pullman' carriage for filming of [[The Seven-Per-Cent Solution]] in 1975.<ref name=SB9/>
In 1985, 107291 appeared on the main line when it was used in the [[The Severn Valley Railway on the main line#SVR Wagons used on the main line in preservation| GW 150 demonstration freight train]] which ran to Newport behind [[2857|GWR freight loco 2857]].<ref>SVR News 78</ref>

Although the [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc.|The Great Western (SVR) Association]] owns [[GWR Mogul 7325]] and around 20 carriages, 107291 is their only wagon.
'Mainline Railways' produced an OO Gauge model of 107291.<ref>[https://www.hampshiremodels.co.uk/products/mainline-37-172-oo-gauge-bogie-bolster-wagon-gwr-107291-x2 Hampshire Models]</ref>
