D821 was bought by members of the [[Diesel Traction Group]], becoming the first main line diesel to be sold for preservation. In May 1973 D821 moved under her own power to Didcot, moving again in the following year to a private siding in Reading. Between February 1977 and April 1981 the locomotive underwent an overhaul at Swindon, and then moved to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. She finally arrived on the SVR in September 1991.<ref name ="SVR9"/>
An overhaul commenced in 2014.<ref>[http://www.svr.co.uk/MeetTheLoco.aspx?id=90 SVR meet the Locomotives]</ref> After a long period under repair at Old Oak Common (OOC) she returned to the SVR after the OOC open day in September 2017, before returning to use in April 2018 in time for the following month's Spring Diesel Festival.
