Following this restoration, 345 saw little or no use. However in autumn 2006 it received a further overhaul at Bewdley to enable it to be used by the P. Way Department to store water for the [[Smiths, Rodley DW35 6-ton steam crane |6 ton steam crane]], enabling 431 to be released from this role for overhaul. A new gate valve and 2" BSP outlet pipe were fitted and other repair work was carried out to the brakes and buffers. Repainting was completed in time for the wagon to take part in the 2006 Autumn Steam Gala [[Demonstration Goods Train]].<ref name=SVR155/>
In 2019 it was 'red carded' for a faulty Oleo buffer and moved in to [[Bewdley Down Yard]] for repair. While there, the opportunity was taken to repaint it. It returned to service on December 17 2019. The main photograph shows 345 in Regent Oil livery at Arley Bewdley in April 2017December 2019. It is owned by [[SVR(H)]]<ref name=SB9/>.
