In 2000, 37906 was moved into the EWS Heritage Fleet, based nominally at Old Oak Common. Shortly afterwards, it arrived on the SVR, and was sold to the [[Ruston 906 Group]].
In a few days in April 2007 GEC control cards were stolen from 37905 at both Meldon Quarry and 37906 at Kidderminster. These cards were of use on only a handful of locomotives, and the theft necessitated the production of a new control card at considerable expense.<ref>[httphttps://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=524&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60 SVR-Online forum] (Retrieved 1 February 2017]</ref>

In November 2013, the Ruston 906 Group announced that they felt the group was no longer large enough to keep the loco in working order, and had therefore agreed to sell it to Europhoenix to be returned to main line use.<ref>[httphttps://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=973&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30 SVR-Online forum], retrieved 1 March 2015.</ref> The sale completed in March 2014, and the loco left the SVR by rail dead in tow on 11 May that year.<ref>[httphttps://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=973&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60 SVR-Online forum], retrieved 1 March 2015.</ref>
