}}'''LMS Passenger Brake 31420 was built by BR at Wolverton in 1950 to an LMS design. This ''' is type of 50ft brake vehicle, which was contemporary with the porthole stock, which was developed from the shorter [[LMS 2886 Six-wheel Passenger Brake (later 32919) | ‘Stove-R’]] type vehicle and could take a 12 ton load. It featured flush sides, unlike the earlier pre-War stock which had beaded panels.
==Service==
31420 was built by BR at Wolverton in 1950 to LMS Diagram 2171, lot 1588.<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Jenkinson & Essery (1977)]] p. 174.</ref> It later carried the BR number M31420M.<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2019)]] pp.313-314.</ref> After main line serviceended in 1981, 31420 was used as a stationery stores vehicle at the BR printing works at Crewe, where it was given the departmental number XDB 977023<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2019)]] p.466.</ref>.
==Preservation==
It arrived on the SVR from Stonebridge Park, North London on 29 October 1992, initially intended as a source of bogie spares. <ref>SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref> However it has remained intact, being mainly used as a components store at [[Carriage Repair Works|Kidderminster Carriage Works]]. Unlike the other SVR's other LMS-designed but BR-built carriages, 31420 was in the BR Crimson and Cream livery which it would have carried when entering service until a repaint in March 2017.
