The hand crane and crane runner arrived on the SVR in on 6 December 1982 from Bristol, having been acquired by [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund]].<ref>SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref> Both spent some time stored in the ‘[[Stourport Triangle]]’, the junction of the Stourport Branch and the present day SVR south of Bewdley. In January 2019 it was announced that the crane was to move to [[Arley]] for cosmetic restoration as a static display, while the crane runner will be swapped with a GWR flat wagon that will better suit the crane.<ref>SVR Wagons Facebook 13 January 2019</ref> In March 2019 the crane and runner were moved to Bewdley and in May to Arley.
In May 2019 the GWR 813 Preservation Fund expected the vehicle would move to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.<ref>Baxter, Nick J.
