==SVR Carriages used in revenue-earning services on the main linein preservation==
The following carriages travelled on the main line while based at the SVR, either as part of revenue-earning rail tours or to attend celebratory events:
===Rail 150, Shildon 1975===
*Clapham Buffet 9631
*[[LMS 26986 Brake Third Corridor | LMS 26986]]
*LNER Passenger Brake 4236
===The SVR GWR set===
In the mid to late 1970s the SVR provided a rake of GWR carriages for use on mainline excursions. The first rail tour used 10 carriages, subsequent excursions normally featured a rake of 11. The following carriages were used<ref name = "SVRNews41">SVR News 41</ref>:
*[[GWR 5883 Brake Third]]
However their use on the main line was short-lived; the C&W notes in SVR News for summer 1980, reporting on the SVR coaches attending the Rainhill celebrations, ended with the comment “What a pity the whole train cannot go out again”<ref>SVR News 56</ref>.
===Rocket 150, Rainhill 1980===
*[[GWR 829 Full Third]]
*[[GWR 6913 Brake Composite]]
*[[LMS Brake Third Corridor 26921]]
===Main line support coaches===
[[GWR 6913 Brake Composite]] was overhauled to main line standard in 1985 for use as a support coach for SVR locos working on the main line. The first trip following the overhaul was with [[GWR 7819 Hinton Manor | 7819 Hinton Manor]]<ref>SVR News 77</ref>.
