1146 is one of four 1938-built CollettCharles Benjamin Collett, Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the Great Western Railway 1922-1941 Corridor Third (TK) coaches on the SVRSevern Valley Railway, along with 1086, 1087 and 1116. They were built at Swindon to diagram number C77 as lot number 1593.
After passenger service, 1146 was later numbered 079153 and 99232. The former number signified DepartmentalRolling stock used for the railway’s own functions (engineering etc.) rather than for general passenger or goods traffic. 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 signified hauled non-passenger carrying use; all four of the SVRSevern Valley Railway TKs formed part of the Swindon GWRGreat Western Railway test train which was used for load testing of diesel locomotives.
The entire 9-coach test train was sold into preservation in 1969, with the four coaches being bought for the SVRSevern Valley Railway. All four Full Thirds were restored between 1970 and 1973, and saw service on SVR excursions on the main line as well as on the SVRSevern Valley Railway itself.
1146 completed an overhaul, which included repainting in the Bewdley carriage paint shop, and returned to service in spring of 2015. It is finished in GWRGreat Western Railway 1934-42 livery featuring the ‘shirt-button’ roundel, and is owned by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund.
