3930 was purchased by [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]] from Barry in on 29 November 1967. Some limited restoration work was carried out in the late 1960s, including replacing the missing compartments and repairing the frame work and end panelling. A temporary coat of paint and lettering was applied so that 3930 could be used in filming [[The Signalman]] in 1976.<ref name=GWRSVRA/>
