Changes

After repainting, 11509 was despatched to Bewdley in December 1980 to be used for shunting.<ref>SVR News 28</ref> It was also used on engineering trains, including the re-laying of [[Highley| Highley station]] in December 1984.<ref name=SVR133/> However it was not equipped with vacuum brakes which restricted its use. A plan was put in place to fit these and some preliminary work was carried out, but the job was not completed and 11509 spent a period stored out of use at various locations along the line. It was briefly put back into service after renovation at Kidderminster by a team led by Mervyn Trigg, but the arrival of more powerful Class 08 diesels rendered the Rustons redundant and by 1990 11509 was no longer in use.<ref>SVR Stock Book Eighth Edition</ref><ref>SVR News 100</ref> The locomotive was still present on the SVR in June 1998<ref name=SB9/> but by summer 2000 had been cannibalised for spares in Kidderminster yard.<ref name=SVR133/> Some parts were used in the overhaul of [[Ruston and Hornsby 165hp Diesel Shunter 319290|”Red Ruston” 319290]] at Kidderminster in spring 1991<ref>SVR News 133, "''The Early SVR shunters''", Chris Magner</ref>.
