In October 2017, 2119 was moved outside the joinery shop at [[Bewdley Down Yard]] for a long overdue overhaul to begin, the vehicle having been in store for about thirty years.<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3461&start=45 SVROnline forum]</ref><ref>SVR News 200, Winter 2017</ref> Priority is was being given to the major repair of [[GWR 9615 Kitchen Diner First]]; the next task on 2119 was the planned removal of the floor during 2019.<ref>GW(SVR)A Newsletter, Summer 2019</ref> It is owned by the [[Great Western (SVR) Association]]. By 2022 work on 9615 was paused, but work on 2119 had not started.
