43612 came to the SVR from Norwich in on 1 March 1979. For some years thereafter it was owned by Messrs. Gardner Shaw,<ref>SVR Stock Book Editions 7 (1980) and 8 (1990)</ref> a Brierley Hill soft drinks firm, although by 1998 it had been acquired by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]].<Ref>SVR Stock Book 9th edition</ref>
Following a lengthy and comprehensive restoration at Bridgnorth and Kidderminster, the carriage first appeared in traffic in September 1996.
Early in 2016 ownership was transferred to the SVR Charitable trust. It is was scheduled for overhaul at [[Carriage Repair Works|Kidderminster Carriage Works ]] in 2017 when . In the event it entered [[Bewdley Carriage & Wagon Department|Bewdley paint shop]] in January 2022 for general repairs, having been out of traffic for a few years due to a leaky roof and poor bodywork. It’s on accommodation bogies so that its own can be mechanically overhauled in Kidderminster.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/bljan22 Branch Lines January 2022] (Retrieved 13 January 2022)</ref>  It's hoped that minimal structural work will be needed. However the roof canvass dates from the mid-1980s and not surprisingly a new one will be required, together with routine work to ensure that the roof planks are firmly attached to the framework. The 16 tables fitted as part of its 1996 overhaul were, for reasons of cost, not of a standard railway type and are now life expired, so a replacement set is was on order, this time following the original robust LNER design that has been successfully used since 1997 in the other 3 SVR based TTOs.
