In service these 6-wheel Tool Vans carried a large selection of equipment and lifting tackle, and were paired with Riding/Dormitory Vans such as [[GWR 89 Riding/Dormitory Van | GWR89]]. They were vacuum-braked to permit fast running to the scene of accidents and breakdowns on the railway.

141 arrived on the SVR from Newton Abbot in on 8 February 1971. <ref name="SVRSB">SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref> It is photographed in March 2015 situated in [[Bewdley Down Yard]].  The [[Great Western (SVR) Association]] reported at their 2023 AGM that they had assumed ownership of 141, previously with S.
