The 8 carriages above have seen regular use in Set M in 2015, although in varying configurations such as:<br>15 March 2015 (8 carriages): 21254, 16267 (BR Crimson & cream), 25346, 1855, 4690, 35219, 4550, 4593.<br>16 May 2015 (8 carriages): 21254, 25346, 16267 (BR Crimson & cream), 1855, 4690, 35219, 4550, 4593.<br>25 May 2015 (8 carriages): 25346, 16267 (BR Crimson & cream), 1855, 4690, 35219, 4550, 4593, 21254. ===Set LN===LMS MaroonLNER Teak (at 7 July 2023)*LMS 26986 Brake Third Corridor[[BR 4509 Tourist Standard Open]] (from set C)*LMS 24617 Composite Corridor*LMS 12992 [[LNER 43600 Open Third | LNER 43600 Tourist Third Corridor Open]]*LMS 149 [[LNER 643 Buffet | LNER 643 Restaurant Mini Buffet]]*LMS 26880 Brake [[LNER 24105 Open Third | LNER 24105 Tourist Third CorridorOpen]] - [[:Category: Wheelchair-accessible adapted carriages|Modified for disabled access]]*LMS 2300 [[LNER 24506 Brake Third | LNER 24506 Brake Third CorridorOpen]]*LMS 27270 [[LNER 52255 Open Third | LNER 52255 Tourist Third Open]]*LMS 27220 Third [[BR 3083 Experimental Open]] (from set M)
The above 8-carriage set [[GNR 2701 Composite Corridor]] is typical, having been used on 16 May 2015 and 25 May 2015.<br> For the 2014 Autumn Gala, the same order was used with LMS 27218 Tourist Open included between 26986 and 24617 to form a 9-carriage usually part of this set.<ref name ="Issue 188"/>
===Set N===LNER Teak*LNER 43612 Third Open*LNER 643 Restaurant Mini Buffet*For the Pacific Power event in September 2016, a 9 coach teak set was utilised with [[LNER 24068 Brake 7960 Kitchen Composite Corridor*LNER 24105 Third Open *LNER 43600 Third Open*LNER 2701 Composite Corridor|7960]], the first time such a set has been put together since the 2 May 1964<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=51701#51701 SVRA Forum]</ref> - by this point, the coaches had been painted in BR maroon, and it is thought the last time a 9 coach set in varnished teak livery was seen was in the early 1950s.
Following ===Set GW1===The SVR is in the withdrawal process of 52255, the 6-coach configuration above has formed the basis forming a GW1 set made up of Set N 1910 to early 1930s stock in 2015. From time to time this is supplemented with a non-LNER coach, normally [[BR 3083 Experimental Open | BR 3083]]the older liveries.
*The SVR website pages giving details of carriage sets in use on a day to day may refer to this set as simply "GW".The current conversion project for [[GWR 6562 is also used for strengthening purposes9581 Wheelchair accessible Buffet Car | 9581]] will add a GWR wheelchair/dining vehicle to this set.<ref name ="Issue 188">SVR News 204</ref>

__TOC__The SVR has over 80 around 70 passenger carriages, <ref>[https://www.svrtrust.org.uk/Carriage-Restoration SVR Charitable Trust, ''Carriage Restoration''</ref> dating from pre-grouping to BR Mk1s Mk1's of the early 1960s, with well over half of them in operational use.<br> The carriages are normally operated in six matching sets, or rakes, although it is not uncommon to see more than one livery in a train as individual carriages are temporarily withdrawn for repair or maintenance and others are substituted or added to increase passenger capacity.<br>Carriage sets usually consist of six to eight vehicles, although lengths up to ten carriages are not unusual. Carriage repairs and restorations are carried out at the [[Carriage Repair Works]]. The four five sets in regular timetabled use are;*Set C, British Rail Mark 1s Railways Mk1's in Crimson & Cream<ref>[httphttps://www.bloodandcustard.com/bloodandcustardhistory.html org www.bloodandcustard.comorg] states that Crimson and Cream rather than Carmine and Cream was the description used by BR</ref>.*Set M, British Rail Mark 1s Railways Mk1's in Maroon.*Set L, LMS (And and BR built to LMS design) in MaroonLMS Crimson Lake.
*Set N, LNER & GNR Teak
*Set GW2 (sometimes abbreviated to GW), GWR later period (1938 to 1947) in GWR Chocolate & Cream. The SVR is in the process of creating a second GWR set (GW1) which will consist of early (1910 to early 1930s) stock in older liveries.
