==See AlsoPreservation==It was acquired in 1986 ex-BR(W) Reading by [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund]], reaching the SVR on 19 September.<ref>SVR News 82</ref> Restoration, funded by the 813 Fund, began in late summer 1987. Initial work centred on repairs to the uprights onto which the planks are bolted, some of which had nearly rotted through. Difficulty in obtaining suitable "Tee" section steel to carry out repairs was overcome when it was discovered that Dave Penn's garden fence was supported by a piece of the correct section! Following on from the steelwork repairs, several end and roof planks were replaced.<ref>SVR News 86</ref> The doors were strengthened footboards replaced, the roof recanvassed and the wagon repainted in chocolate livery. After restoration was completed during the winter it was initially despatched to Bridgnorth to be used as a store for boiler shop materials during construction of the new boiler shop.<ref>SVR News 88</ref>
