LNER Gresley Open Third (TO) No 43600 was built at York in 1934. It was the first LNER vehicle built with a welded chassis, reducing the weight by around a ton<ref> vintagecarriagestrust.org</ref>.

43600 arrived on the SVR in 1980. Restoration into 1935 livery was completed in the mid-1980s, after which it was used for a number of years. After an overhaul, 43600 re-entered service in November 2014.

43600 was one of three coaches which in 2010 were gifted by the LNER (SVR) Coach Fund to the SVR Rolling Stock Trust (now the [[Severn Valley Railway Charitable Trust Ltd]]), along with [[LNER 24028 Composite Corridor Brake | 24068]] and 70759.
