In 1982, Western Ranger was used in the filming of the BBC TV sit-com [[L For Lester]].
On 11 May 1984, D1013 was the first SVR locomotive to work onto the newly acquired [[Kidderminster]] site, hauling a load of sleepers for installation at the station which was still under construction at the time.<ref>SVR News 77</ref>
In 1985 Holdsworth Conversions Ltd. became insolvent and the receiver advertised the locomotive for sale. The WLA informed the receiver that major parts were owned by the Association, removal of which would render the locomotive out of gauge for removal. Sale was agreed and on 16 October 1995 ownership passed to Roger Smith, remaining under care of the WLA. On 22 March 2000 ownership passed to Western Ranger Limited, before being passed to the WLA.
