GWR Hawksworth Corridor Third (TK) No 2119 was built for ordered by the GWR before nationalisation, but completed on behalf of BR in 1949 by the Gloucester Carriage and Wagon Worksin April 1949 as lot no 1720 to diagram C82. 2119 has the characteristic Hawksworth sloping ended roof profile and 64ft length. It seats the normal 64 passengers, but had an oak interior rather than the more usual mahogany.
It The SVR stock book states that 2119 was purchased in 1968 direct from Didcotpassenger service. However the Railway Heritage Register Carriage Survey states that it was later numbered 99239, and has seen many years suggesting a period of hauled non-passenger carrying use . It arrived on the SVRfrom Didcot in August 1968, and received full GWR livery in 1979. However as As of May July 2015 it , 2119 is stored alongside Kidderminster Carriage Shed while awaiting an overhaul. It is owned by [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]].
