It was acquired by SVR(H) and arrived at the SVRSevern Valley Railway in September 1994 direct from military use at Kineton, carrying the Army identity WGC 4607, and bearing a large water tank.[1] Shortly after arrival a bent drawbar was straightened and the mountings for the water tank removed.[2] It has since been used by the SVRSevern Valley Railway for carrying rails and other heavy loads, and was photographed alongside Kidderminster Carriage Shed in April 2015.
