D2960 was purchased from BSC by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]] in September 1983 and driven to Kidderminster shortly after the SVR acquired the final section of track. For a time the locomotive carried a fictitious BR number of 11510 with black livery, but it has retained the “Silver Spoon” name plates from BSC ownership. D2961 D2960 is used as the Carriage Works shunter at Kidderminster.
