993898 arrived on the SVR from Tinsley in on 19 November 1990, and was later fitted with ploughs acquired from Duddeston Wagon Shops in Birmingham. It was used on engineers' P-Way trains until replaced by [[BR 993876 'Shark' Ballast Plough Brake | air braked Shark 993876]] in 2017. The photograph below shows it in a ballast train at [[Bewdley]] in April 2015. It was in the siding at [[Eardington]] on 1 June 2016.<gallery>BR_993898_20150426.jpg|DB993898, Bewdley 2015</gallery>
The plough can be seen in use in this video taken at Trimpley in February 2017. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHxD4f3_THE Link to YouTube]
In 2016 the then owners took the decision to donate 993898 to the [[Severn Valley Railway Charitable Trust Ltd | SVR Charitable Trust]], thus ensuring its long term place as part of the SVR's wagon fleet. {{As of|2020|1}} it is being restored by the Carriage and Wagon team in the cattle dock at Bridgnorth.
