39860 is thought to be unique, being the only surviving 'Conflat' wagon. It arrived on the SVR from Swindon on 19 15 December 1986 having been acquired by [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund]].<ref name=SB9/>
It was found to be in good condition when selected for restoration at Bewdley in April 1987, requiring relatively little work before entering traffic. The work done included the removal of ironmongery and a toolbox associated with its use by BR, partial re-timbering of the floor, new chain pockets, lids and securing hooks. The non-GWR buffing gear and axle boxes were left for the time being, and the wagon was repainted and lettered in GWR livery.<ref>SVR News 84</ref>
