Confirming the purchase, the GW(SVR)A's January 2020 Newsletter noted that "''We already own two Hawksworth Full Thirds ([[GWR 829 Full Third|829]] and [[GWR 2119 Full Third|2119]]) but lack a matching brake vehicle to enable a set to be formed to this distinctive profile. It will also fulfil a particular need on the Severn Valley Railway being able to form a large brake in Great Western Set 2 releasing Collett Brake 5883 for Great Western Set 1''".<ref name=GW2020/>
