involvement in 43106 Hampton Loade derailment
4345 was used between 1995 and 1997 in the filming of the BBC comedy series [[Oh, Doctor Beeching!]] along with [[BR 9220 Brake Standard Open|BSO 9220]], [[BR 1853 Restaurant Miniature Buffet|RMB 1853]] and [[46521|Ivatt 2MT 46521]].<ref>[http://forum.svra.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3372 SVR-Online forum]</ref>
On [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 2000-2009#2009|Monday 28 September 2009]], 4345 was the coach next to [[43106| LMS 43106]] when the locomotive’s tender became derailed at [[Hampton Loade]]. One of 4345’s buffers was trapped under the derailed tender and had to be removed on site. Other damage to 4345 was relatively minor, although the steam heat shut-off cock on the buffer beam was smashed to pieces while the buckeye coupling and draw bar were also affected. Repairs were carried out at [[Carriage Repair Works|Kidderminster]] in time for the carriage to be available for traffic the following weekend.<ref>SVR News 168</ref>
{{As of|2017}} 4345 is normally used in the BR Crimson & Cream running set.
