The five sets in regular timetabled use are;
- Set C, British Railways Mk1's in Crimson & Cream[2].
- Set M, British Railways Mk1's in Maroon.
- Set L, LMS (and BR built to LMS design) in LMS 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.
Other sets and carriages in operational use are;
- Set S, 'The Severn Valley Limited' diner set in GWR Chocolate & Cream.
- Set VV, 'The Severn Valley Venturer' carriages attached to a service train operating from Bridgnorth. Comprised of BR 1682 Restaurant Buffet and BR 3103 First Open.
- Set T, the 'Toplights', comprising GWR pre-grouping coaches plus spare serviceable GWR vehicles not required in GW. Very occasional use for charters, galas, and filming.
- Observation saloons 80969 and 80972, two carriages which can be privately chartered and attached to a regular train.
- Autotrailers 178 and 238, two carriages suitable for push-pull trains.
The lists below also include sundry other carriages in use as volunteer accommodation or as storage, and Non Passenger Carrying Coaching Stock (NPCCS) such as Full Brakes and carriages adapted for use as Post Office Sorting Vans (also known as Travelling Post Offices or TPOs) and General Utility Vans (GUVs). Other goods vans and brake vans are listed under Goods Wagons.

For the Pacific Power event in September 2016, a 9 coach teak set was utilised with 7960, the first time such a set has been put together since the 2 May 1964[5] - 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.
Set GW1
The SVR is in the process of forming a GW1 set made up of 1910 to early 1930s stock in the older liveries.
