The coach was originally bought by SVR(H) and was latterly used as accommodation at Kidderminster.
In March 2017 the Great Western (SVR) Assoc. exchanged GWR 5043 Full Third for 4786 and this coach will become their next project on completion of the restoration of GWR 6045 Bow-end Composite.[1] It will go towards and complete the 1920s GW set. 4786, being from 1926, will be returned to the fully lined GW livery with the ornate garter crest, as found on the 'Toplights'.[2]
In October 2018 it was moved from Kidderminster to Bewdley Down Yard for work to begin in earnest.[3][4]
