1086 is one of four 1938-==Service==They were built Collett Corridor Third (TK) coaches on at Swindon to Diagram C77 Lot 1593 and were classed as 'Excursion Stock', the SVR, along with [[GWR 1087 Full Third |1087]], [[GWR 1116 Full Third |1116]] emphasising that such stock was for excursion and party hire traffic only and capable of having a meal service to every seat.<ref>[[GWR 1146 Full Third Bibliography#Other References|1146Harris (1966)]]pp. They were built at Swindon to diagram number C77 as lot number 1593100,154. </ref>
After passenger service, 1086 was later numbered renumbered 079154 in 1965<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2018)]] p.172.</ref> and also 99234<ref>Railway Heritage Register Carriage Survey</ref>. The former Internal User number signified Departmental Coaching stock within the Western Region that did not normally move or had its movements confined to a particular depot or yard. The latter number signifying hauled non-passenger carrying use; all four of the SVR TKs formed part of the Swindon GWR test train which was used for load testing of diesel locomotives.
==Preservation==The entire 9-coach test train was sold into preservation in 1969, with the four coaches being bought for the SVRand arriving on 19 December. All four Full Thirds were restored between 1970 and 1973, and saw service on [[The Severn Valley Railway on the main line#SVR Carriages used on the main line | SVR excursions on the main line]] as well as on the SVR itself. The coach was also used in Carlton's made-for-TV movie '[[Goodnight Mister Tom]]' in 1998 along with two other Great western coaches.
As of July 2015, 1087 is in service and is normally used in [[Carriages#The carriage sets|set GW2GW]]. It is finished in GWR 1934-42 livery featuring the ‘shirt-button’ roundel, and is owned by a [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | Great Western (SVR) Association]] member<ref>[http://www.gw-svr-a.org.uk/stock_list.html The Great Western (SVR) Associationstock list]](Retrieved 10 October 2019)</ref>.
