[[File: GWR_66_20150307.jpg |thumb|200px300px|right| GWR Breakdown Tool Van 66]]
Breakdown Tool Van 66 was built in 1921 and first allocated to Taunton. In service these 6-wheel Tool Vans carried a large selection of equipment and lifting tackle, and were paired with Riding/Dormitory Vans such as [[GWR 89 Riding/Dormitory Van | GWR89]]. They were vacuum-braked to permit fast running to the scene of accidents and breakdowns on the railway.
66 arrived on the SVR in April 1976 from Ashchurch. It was owned by the [[The Erlestoke Manor Fund | Erlestoke Manor Fund]] until 1985, when it was put up for sale. It was then acquired by the [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund | GWR 813 Preservation Fund]], and initially put to use as a tool van by the P.Way Department<ref>SVR News 78</ref>.
