PRISM grant
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.
In 2008 the WLA received a Preservation of Industrial and Scientific Material (PRISM) Fund award of £2,500, which covered the first stage of restoration.<ref>[https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/sites/default/files/download-file/PRISM_Annual_report_2008_2009.pdf] PRISM Fund Annual Report2008-2009</ref> On 10 October 2009 she was withdrawn for overhaul at [[Bridgnorth]], with rewiring a particular priority. Work is progressing, with D1013 moving to the [[Diesel Depot]] on 25 November 2018 to facilitate the rest of her overhaul.<ref>WLA Facebook 24 November 2018</ref>
