== D5410 in preservation ==
Following withdrawal, D5410 was purchased by Sandwell Council who wished to retain an example of a BRCW locomotive. It appeared at the SVR Diesel Gala in October 1987, after which it was moved to the Birmingham Railway Museum at Tyseley (now known as Tyseley Locomotive Works). During the next few years all blue asbestos was removed from the locomotive and it was restored as D5410. By May 1991 it had returned to the SVR. <gallery>File:Kidderminster Carriage Shed - D5410 awaiting restoration with 20177.JPG | D5410 in 2015 shortly before moving to Leicester (Wikimedia Commons)</gallery> Following a period in store, it moved to UKRail's facility in Leicester in November 2015 for bodywork overhaul, then moved to Cranmore 23 February 2016.<ref>[http://www.svr.co.uk/MeetTheLoco.aspx?id=90 SVR Meet the Locos]</ref>
