It arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in 1990 from York, one of a number of wagons acquired by Mr J.J. Smith. After a quick repaint it was put to use as a boiler carrier at Bridgnorth.[3] It received a full repaint into the correct BRBritish Rail or British Railways grey in 1993.[4] Since then it has continued to serve as a boiler carrier and was photographed at Bridgnorth in 2015 holding two boilers awaiting entry to the Bridgnorth Boiler Shop.
