In 2002 and 2015 D1015 attended the diesel galas and in 2016 D1015 attended both the May diesel gala and the August ‘Western Weekend’. By December 2016 the DTG had entered into a running agreement with the SVR.
The locomotive experienced an engine issue in 2016. In January 2017 the DTG announced that the engine needed to be replaced before D1015 could commit to further mainline running and an appeal for £50,000 was launched, which was rapidly filled and the share offer closed the following month.<ref>[http://www.westernchampion.co.uk/ DTG website announcement] (retrieved 6 January 2017)</ref> The loco operated on one engine while two engines were rebuilt in parallel, one by DTG engineers at Kidderminster and one on their behalf in Germany. In August 2019 the locomotive moved to the [[Diesel Depot]] for a replacement engine to be fitted, and subsequent workings of the SVR 'The PionerrPioneer' excursion trains were with two engines again operating.
