After being retired from industrial use the locomotive displayed at Welshmill Adventure Playground in Frome at some time prior to March 1976, in yellow livery with 'ARC' lettering. The last owner was the Hanson Group, and from August 1998 until early 2015 No. 9387 was on static display outside their Tytherington Quarry in Gloucestershire, with cosmetic overhaul at the West Somerset Railway in 2000/2001<ref>[http://www.uklocos.com/final-results.asp?action=display&id=5711 uklocos database] retrieved 26 July 2021</ref>.
==9387 in preservation==
9387 arrived on the SVR in March 2015 for cosmetic restoration work to be carried out, and was photographed at [[Bridgnorth Loco Works]]. This involved stripping of paint, metalwork repairs and painting. Heritage Painting finished the paintwork and lining, the restoration being completed by the end of February 2016 when the locomotive left for its new home at the Sandford Station Railway Heritage Centre in Somerset.<ref>[http://www.uklocos.com/final-results.asp?action=display&id=6146 uklocos database] retrieved May 2016</ref>
