GWR Toplight Full Third 2426 was designed by G.J. Churchward and built in 1910 at Swindon. Originally the coach would have seated 64 passengers. It was converted to a camping coach in 1957, and renumbered W9918W.
2426 was purchased by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]] in 1972 for volunteer dormitory accommodation, and is still used for that purpose at Hampton Loade. It is the oldest bogie coach on the SVR, and is now owned by [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]]. The Association's long term aim is to restore it to its original condition.
