Service and preservation
162 was built at Swindon in 1923.[2] It arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway from Ashchurch on 23 April 1976. Ownership in the 1998 SVRSevern Valley Railway stock book was recorded as Erlestoke Manor Fund Trustee; the Erlestoke Manor Fund newsletter for March 2002 referred to Bob Marrows' ex GWRGreat Western Railway Permanent way van, much in use for painting and storing our small fittings.[1][3]
162 and another riding van, GWR 9, are both located in Bewdley Down Yard behind the 'tent' under which 4150 is being restored.
