By 2007 223612 was considered unlikely to run again in general service and best suited for indoor display. It was therefore overhauled in [[Carriage Repair Works|Kidderminster Carriage Works]] in preparation for the forthcoming opening of [[The Engine House]]. The floor and one end of the wagon were still in good condition, but the timber in both sides and one end door was scrap while the iron bracing was also corroded and buckled.<ref>SVR News 158</ref> Repairs were duly completed and the opportunity was also taken to convert it back to a mineral wagon by reinstating the planks above the side doors. Finally it was repainted in the livery of the 'Highley Mining Company', carrying the fictitious number 162 (the last 3 digits of the works number). {{As of|2018}}, it remains on display in The Engine House.
