Nov 2023 hire to Telford steam railway
09107 arrived on the SVR on 15 June 2017 from Kingsbury for restoration by a small group of dedicated volunteers at the [[Diesel Depot]]. It moved under its own power for the first time on 17 August 2018 and on 18 January 2019 carried out its first shunt for many a year. It carries BR Blue livery.<ref>Severn Valley Diesels (Official) Facebook</ref>
In late 2022 a top end engine overhaul was undertaken in [[Diesel Depot | Kidderminster TMD]]. It was completed in late 2023, in time for a period of hire to Telford Steam Railway.
Although not designed for such use, its ability to operate at line speed means that from time to time it operates, either singly or with D4100, on booked shuttle workings at [[Diesel galas]] or as a 'Thunderbird' rescue locomotive.
