==Preservation==
6913 and 6912 arrived on the SVR on 5 December 1974 from Radyr, having been acquired by the [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]]<ref>SVR News 35</ref>.
In 1976 the SVR prepared a [[The Severn Valley Railway on the main line#SVR Carriages used on the main line in preservation|rake of carriages for use on the main line]]. Both 6913's axle bogies were transferred to other carriages, with 6913 temporarily receiving defective axles including one from [[GWR 2926 Siphon G Bogie Milk Van|Siphon G 2926]].<ref>SVR News 42, 50</ref> Later that year 6913 received attention as a stop-gap project between work on the main line set, including attention to the roof and gutters, replacement of rotten body panels and removal of gangway connections for recanvassing.<ref>SVR News 43</ref>
6913 received a 'brief repaint' at Bewdley in April 2002.<ref>SVR News 142</ref> In late summer 2009 it underwent a number of repairs at Kidderminster, including to the drawgear, the steam heating system, the vacuum pipework to the Guard's compartment and the brake cylinders. 6913 borrowed a spare set of GWR bogies to take part in the [[Autumn Steam Gala]] while its own bogies were being reconditioned.<ref>SVR News 168</ref>
{{As of|2020}} 6913 is finished in GWR 1928-34 chocolate and cream livery featuring the ‘coat of arms’ logo. It is normally used in the Severn Valley Limited dining set (Set S), although in 2020 it was part of the GWR set used during the [[2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic]]. It remains owned by the [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]].
