1985 | Arrived on SVR |
1986 | Restored |
13154 was preserved in 1975, initially at the West Somerset Railway and then Bristol Industrial Museum,[3] from where it arrived on the SVR 28 on March 1985.[1] It was restored in 1986, which required complete timber and curb rail replacement, welding repairs to cracks in both headstocks and the replacement of four carrying springs, one bearing, two buffer springs and one cracked buffer head.[4] Parts were also salvaged from another similar wagon number 13260[5] which had been acquired to be broken up for that purpose.[6]
It received a further overhaul between 2008 and 2011[7] and was moved into Bewdley Yard in April 2016 for further attention including renewal / refurbishment of the braking equipment.
It is normally in service as part of the Demonstration Goods Train and is owned by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund.
