Some of the post-BR history of 20177 may be seen in photographs on the Preserved Diesels website. 20177 was used by EWS at Toton<ref>UKLocos database ([http://prsl.uk/uklocos/final-results.asp?action=display&Id=5639 link])</ref> where it was photographed in mid-2002 in a poor state of repair ([http://www.preserved-diesels.co.uk/2004/20177_1.htm link]). By October 2002 the locomotive had been acquired by present owners, the [[Somerset & Dorset Loco Company | Somerset & Dorset Locomotive Company]] and moved to their site at Yeovil. There the locomotive began the process of being stripped for spares for the Company's other locomotives [[BR Class 20 D8059 | D8059]] and [[BR Class 20 D8188 | D8188]] ([http://www.preserved-diesels.co.uk/2004/20177_6.htm link]). 20177 moved to Tyseley in 2004 with D8059, from where it moved to Kidderminster in 2010.<ref>[http://forum.svra.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1460&start=0 SVR-Online Forum]</ref>
20177 was moved to Boden Rail, Washwood Heath in September 2014 to be further stripped for spares<ref>[http://www.uklocos.com/final-results.asp?action=display&Id=6765 UKLocos.com]</ref>, following which it returned to Kidderminster circa February 2015<ref>Railway Illustrated</ref>. In October 2017, 20177 left the SVR by road, and was photographed at the scrapyard of C.F. Booth Ltd., Rotherham, and is presumed scrapped.<ref>[http://forum.svra.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=54254#54254 SVR-Online Forum], retrieved 2017/10/19</ref>
