As a replacement for the old saloon carriage Sr 7 (ex Wagon Lits) AB 7544 (ex NS AB 7546) from 1933 was converted in 1956 by Allan in Rotterdam on behalf of the Dutch Government into saloon carriage Sr 8 for Queen Juliana. Both the Queen and the princesses Beatrix, Irene, Margriet and Christina used this carriage.

The carriage has a reception room, sitting room and bedroom, 2 bedrooms for accompanying ladies in waiting, a bathroom, a kitchen and a compartment for the train conductor. The carriage was specially adapted for the visually impaired princess Marijke (now Princess Christina). The SR 8, like the other carriages of the Royal train, was provided with a European admission. It was usually transported in the Netherlands as an extra train, together with the Sr 9 saloon car of Prins Bernhard and the baggage energy car D6, after which they were usually coupled to a D train abroad. In the latter days, the carriage was also used individually.
In 1967 the new number 61 84 89-40 001-1 was assigned according to the Uniform Coding. Still in 1993, the year of decommissioning, this number was changed to 61 84 89-30 001-7.
In 1993 the carriage was replaced by the current royal carriage, which was redesigned on the basis of an ICR carriage. They served together once.
The carriage has been on display in the renovated Railway Museum since 1994.
