Since arrival, the ballast wagons have been used in Engineers' P-Way trains. The first three photographs below show the wagons in a ballast train at Bewdley in April 2015.
In January 2018 it was reported that two of the three had been sold/transferred to the Swanage Railway. The remaining wagon, 983115, was photographed at Eardington in June 2018.
