The original builder and works number of this wagon are not recorded, although it was registered as number 177686 in 1946 and carried the number B.S.C. 5. It was the first of the 10 that arrived in July 1969 to be restored, for which it was given the fictitious livery of Highley Mining Co No 136.[2]
As of 2018[update] the wagon is stored adjacent to Kidderminster Railway Museum awaiting overhaul.
