LMS Six-wheel Passenger Brake (BGZ) 2886 was an early Stanier design and was built in 1932 at Wolverton. In the 1940s these coaches were equipped with stoves and became nicknamed ‘Stove Rs’. The coach was later numbered 32919.

2886 arrived on the SVR in 1972 and ran for several years as a temporary bar car. It is owned by The SVR Charitable Trust and was photographed in March 2015 undergoing an overhaul at Bridgnorth. With the internal work done, it was moved to Kidderminster carriage works on 20 Feb 2016 for mechanical work & completion of the exterior painting. In August 2018 was being lined out.
