1987 | Arrived on SVR |
After service with the GWR and BR(W), the wagon was used at British Steel in Sheffield. It was acquired from there, arriving on the SVR on 6 May 1987. It spent some years in need of restoration – the 1999 Stock Book mentions that the wagon was regularly “blown up” at War Weekend events.[2] It is owned by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund.
