Following the closure of the Burton Wagon Repair Department, DB 983115 arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway by road on 2 December 1996 having been purchased by Bridgnorth C&WCarriage & Wagon member John Briscoe.[2] It was immediately put into use on Engineers' P-Way trains.[3] Two further DOGFISH were later acquired for the same purpose, and the first three photographs below show all three wagons in a ballast train at Bewdley in April 2015.
In January 2018 it was reported that two of the three had been sold/transferred to the Swanage Railway. The remaining wagon, 983115, was photographed at Eardington in June 2018.
