Preservation
- The Severn Valley Railway has a complete rake of Period III coaches. RFO No. 7511 has also been restored for use on the railway's dining trains.
- The LMS Carriage Association (link) also owns several coaches, most of which are based at Peak Rail, although two (27162 and 27001), are based at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway.
- Whole sets of Period I, II and III in varying states have been preserved across the U.K. The Midland Railway Butterley has possibly the most varied and unique collection, but others include the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, which has three Period III coaches on display, and the Strathspey Railway, which has two Period III coaches, although these are currently not in use.

Famous quotes containing the word preservation:
“The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
“Men are not therefore put to death, or punished for that their theft proceedeth from election; but because it was noxious and contrary to men’s preservation, and the punishment conducing to the preservation of the rest, inasmuch as to punish those that do voluntary hurt, and none else, frameth and maketh men’s wills such as men would have them.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“There is something to be said for jealousy, because it only designs the preservation of some good which we either have or think we have a right to. But envy is a raging madness that cannot bear the wealth or fortune of others.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
