D3802 in preservation: Now for spares, after assessment
== D3802 in preservation ==
D3802 arrived on the SVR in April 2007, reportedly as a source of spares.<ref>[http://www.uklocos.com/final-results.asp?action=display&Id=5567 UKLocos.com]</ref>. It was placed in store, latterly in [[Kidderminster Carriage Shed]] with sister [[BR Class 08 08896| 08896]].<ref>[http://www.svr.co.uk/MeetTheLoco.aspx?id=90 SVR "Meet The Loco" web page]</ref> In February 2017 it was reported to be moving moved to the [[Diesel Depot]] for evaluation for repair, possibly using the engine from [[BR Class 08 08896| 08896]].<ref>Unofficial SVR Facebook page, 12 February 2017</ref> The photograph shows the locomotive on display next to the Diesel Depot at the April 2017 [[Open House Weekend]]. In June 2017 it was confirmed the assessment was unsuccessful and [[BR Class 09 09107]] purchased as more cost effective than restoring D3802.
