== D3201 in preservation ==
In Spring 2003 SVR News announced that the [[Class 08 Society | 08 Group]] had acquired 08133 from H[https://en.N.R.Cwikipedia. 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<ref>SVR News 143</ref>. The Group opted for restoration, following which the locomotive, re-numbered D3201, first moved under its own power in 2011.<ref>[http://shunterspot.myfreeforum.org/about639.html shutterspot]</ref>
