39860 was used in filming [[Oh, Doctor Beeching!]] at Arley in 1996.
The container mounted on the Conflat in the photograph is No [[BR 49408B General Goods Container | 49408B]], which was unfortunately burnt out in September 2013 in an apparent arson attack while the wagon was stored in the Tenbury Siding north of Bewdley. In 2014 the wagon was brought into the yard at Bewdley awaiting overhaul by the [[Wagon Department]].<ref>SVR News 191</ref><ref>National Preservation ‘SVR Wagons 2014’ discussion thread </ref> During 2015 the floor was removed in order to stop the badly decayed wood damaging the frames. Work finally began in summer 2016 when members of [[SVR Apprentices|The Junior Club]] carried out some preparation and priming. <ref>National Preservation ‘SVR Wagons 2016’ discussion thread</ref> The outdoor overhaul continued through 2017 as weather allowed, with the kerb curb rails, floor and chain pockets being replaced.<ref>National Preservation ‘SVR Wagons 2017’ discussion thread</ref> Work on the brakes and signwriting were completed during 2018 with the wagon being complete and ready for service in July 2018.<ref>[http://www.svrwagons.uk/news.html SVR Wagon Group]</ref>
