===Service since 1994===
Since 1994 D3586 has continued as Bridgnorth shunter, with occasional use for other duties. On 9 October 2003 D3586 hauled a revenue-earning freight load of roof trusses from Kidderminster to [[Orchard Bungalow level crossing|Orchard Bungalow, Northwood]]. The trusses were too large to pass under the bridge carrying the former [[Wyre Forest Line]] over Northwood Lane, but were just able to be taken through [[Bewdley Tunnel]].<ref>SVR News 145</ref>
In 2012 it failed and had an engine rebuild in the [[Bridgnorth Loco Works#Boiler_shop |Bridgnorth boiler shop]]. The cab doors and jambs were also replaced. In 2014 it suffered electrical problems and had significant wiring repairs.<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2267 SVR forum thread]</ref> In January 2021 it returned to the [[Diesel Depot]] following a short trip to Bristol St Philip's Marsh for tyre turning.
On 5th May 2018, D3586 was unexpectedly called in to action to haul a passenger train, following the failure of both visiting locomotive, 6023 King Edward II, and the diesel locomotive sent to replace it, [[BR Class 14 D9551]] at Bridgnorth. It went as far as [[Highley]] at a maximum speed of 15mph, where it was relieved by [[BR Class 50 50049 Defiance]] which had been sent from [[Kidderminster]].
