Railway Carriage Trust was formed in 2009 to restore and operate former Barry Railway Carriage 163 on the Severn Valley Railway. 163 itself was rescued in 1992 and was in private ownership before its transfer to the newly-formed Trust.

The Trust is located at Hampton Loade station, where they have a sales van and workshop base.
