In comparison with the "Later Collett" carriages (which preceeded them!), the Hawksworth carriages can be distinguished by the sloping ended roof profile, while the length was also increased by 3ft to 64 ft. The Corridor Third]]seated 64 passengers.

829 was built purchased direct from passenger service, arriving from Didcot on 23 August 1968. In 1978-80 it received a major bodywork overhaul by a full time gang funded by the [[Manpower Services Commission]], including replacement of all galvanised steel side and end panels, roof repairs, reglazing, internal varnishing and seat upholstery. After a spell in 1948 Bewdley Paintshop it emerged in full GWR Hawksworth livery just in time to attend the [[Rocket 150]] cavalcades at Rainhill in [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 1980-1989#1980 | 1980]]. In true Severn Valley tradition final finishing of the compartment interiors was carried out at Bold Colliery, St Helens in the week before the Rainhill parade. <gallery mode=packed heights=150px style="text-align:left">File:Locomotive Parade, Rainhill 1980 - GWR 'Castle' class 4-6-0 - geograph.org.uk - 1587400.jpg | Rainhill 1980: GWR 5051 ''Drysllwyn Castle'' leads the SVR's 829 and [[GWR 6913 Brake Composite]] </gallery> 829 is in service and normally used in [[Carriages#The carriage sets|set GW]].
