As the standard BR general-purpose diesel shunter, the Class 08 became the most numerous of any British locomotive class with 996 built between 1952 and 1962.

D3802 was built at Derby Works and entered BR service in December 1959 (the locomotive never received a number in the 13xxx range). D3586 D3802 was initially allocated to Stoke, but during the 1960s also saw service at Crewe South, Crewe Diesel, Ryecroft (Walsall) and Chester (Midland).

D3802’s travels continued in the 1970s with moves to Holyhead and Cricklewood East. In January 1974 D3802 became No 08635 under the TOPS numbering scheme, before a final move to Saltley in 1979. There the locomotive remained until withdrawn from service in February 2007 after a working life of more than 47 years.<ref>[http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&type=D&id=3802&loco=08635 BRDatabase website]</ref>

D3802 arrived on the SVR in April 2007, reportedly as a source of spares.<ref>[http://www.uklocos.com/final-results.asp?action=display&Id=5567 UKLocos.com]</ref>.

In June 2017 it was confirmed the assessment was unsuccessful and [[BR Class 09 09107]] purchased as more cost effective than restoring D3802.
