26880 arrived on the SVR in on 6 January 1973 from Chaddesdon. It spent a period of use as a store; it was while serving that function at [[Eardington]] in 1989 that the original number E26880M was discovered under the later DM number.<ref name=SVR93/> 26880 then underwent a 20 year restoration at [[Bridgnorth|Bridgnorth cattle dock]] which was completed circa 2011-12. It included provision for wheelchairs.
It forms part of [[Carriages#Set_L|the LMS Maroon set (Set L)]], notwithstanding that it was not built until after nationalisation and first carried Carmine and Cream livery.
