The original builder and works number of this wagon are not recorded, although it was registered as number 16053 in 1937 and carried the number B.S.C. 13.[1]
It arrived on the SVR in July 1969 and by August 1972 had acquired the fictitious number “CCW 1”.[1] By 1980 it was reported as being in a yellow unlettered livery with no number.[2]
The wagon was inspected for the Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey in February 2013; the resulting listing showed a status "For disposal" and condition "Derelict".[3] However the wagon was subsequently restored and by December 2018 was stored under a tarpaulin at Kidderminster Railway Museum.[4] It was 'unveiled' in August 2019.
