D182 arrived on the SVR in May 2022 for the Spring Diesel Festival. In July 2022 the SVR announced that, given the then issues with coal supply, it had also taken the opportunity to retain the locomotive on hire, providing another locomotive for use during the main season.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/bljul22 Branch Lines, July 2022]</ref> Its boiler meant a further period of hire, to cover winter services, was also mooted.
In October 2022 a director of the owners announced on Facebook: ''"In the coming weeks, the loco will return to the Midland Railway for the overhauled steam heating boiler to be installed and commissioned. Several other repairs will also be made including to the cooling system which caused the loco to fail at the [[Diesel galas|Autumn diesel bash]]. If all goes to plan, the loco will return to the SVR next year ready to steam."'' It left the SVR on 3 November. It was subsequently announced attended as a visiting locomotive for the 2023 autumn 'Bash', remaining until the end of the season.
