Service
After service with GWRGreat Western Railway and BRBritish Rail or British Railways(W), the wagon was used at Round Oak Steelworks, Brierley Hill.
Preservation
104621 was acquired from Round Oak in 1971,[3] arriving on the SVRSevern Valley Railway on 5 May 1972. It was repainted in GWRGreat Western Railway livery shortly after arrival, but then used at Bridgnorth as a stores van for 61994 The Great Marquess during that locomotive’s restoration.[4]
Restoration of 104621 by the Wagon Department began at Bewdley in Spring 1992.[5] This entailed a complete body overhaul, including new roof planks and canvas and new doors. After repainting to GWRGreat Western Railway condition, it was initially put to use by the DMU group for the storage of spares.[6]
104621 is one of the wagons regularly seen in the Demonstration Goods Train. It is owned by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund.
