==Service==
98480 was built in 1921 by Metropolitan-Cammell BRCW at Saltley Smethwick under contract to Diagram O18, Lot 868.<ref>Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey</ref>
It later saw service on the Port of Bristol Authority’s Avonmouth Docks internal system, where it was numbered PBA 58194.<ref name=SB9>SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref>
98480 was subsequently stored at [[Kidderminster]], deemed to be in unusable condition. During 1986 it was moved to [[Bewdley]] for overhaul. This included welding repairs to cracks in the framework and the replacement of curb rails which the PBA had removed to gain access to the floor planks without stripping the sides down. The brake gear also received attention and the wagon entered service after being repainted.<ref name=SVR82/>
In July 2012 98480 was photographed at [[Kidderminster]]<ref>Sharpo’s World</ref> but by the following month it had been moved into storage in the [[Tenbury Branch|Tenbury Siding at Bewdley]].<ref>Gareth Price photo</ref> {{As of|2019|3}} the [[Wagon Department]] has started renovation work.<ref>SVR Wagons Facebook 3 March 2019</ref>
