The locomotive was built at Derby Works and entered BR service in December 1955 as number '''13201''', being initially allocated to Polmadie (Glasgow). In 1960 it was renumbered '''D3201''' by BR. During the 1960s D3201 saw moves to other Scottish sheds at Hamilton (West), Corkerhill and Ayr, before a move south, allocated finally to Lincoln in October 1968. It was reportedly more or less permanently outbased at Spalding, with most exams undertaken by fitters sent there by van and visits back to Lincoln only made for major exams.<ref group="note">A [https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=178343361914342&set=gm.2363538850493735&idorvanity=174601542720821 Facebook post] with an image of a withdrawn 08133 at Swindon in 1981 has replies from former railwaymen at Spalding suggesting the supervisor and driver there refused to release it back to Lincoln for repairs, hence fitters travelling to it. </ref>

In October 1973 D3201 received its final number from BR, becoming No '''08133''' under the TOPS numbering scheme. The locomotive allocated to Lincoln until was withdrawn from service in September 1980.<ref>[http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&type=D&id=3201&loco=08133 BRDatabase website]</ref>

In Spring 2003 SVR News announced that the [[Class 08 Society | 08 Group]] had acquired 08133 from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Needle_Railroad_Company HNRC] as a potential source of spares for their other locomotive [[BR Class 08 D3022 | D3022]]. The SVR Board had agreed with the Group that either use as a source of spares or as a potential working locomotive was acceptable. The Group opted for restoration, the worst aspects of the loco being worn tyres and poor wiring. Some spare parts were in stock from when D3022 was acquired 20 years earlier, while other missing parts were sourced.<ref>SVR News 143</ref> By 2006 the locomotive was still waiting for new wheelsets to be fitted but much other work had been carried out, including vacuum gear components and associated pipework, filters and new wiring, repaired radiators and new return water circuit pipework. A section of new floor platework had been welded into position and a new wooden floor constructed, while the cab had new doorframes and doors.<ref>SVR News 156</ref>
