D821, currently away on specialist repair work, is unlikely to be returning to the SVR for the 2014 season due to on-going major repairs

Latest RI mentions it is to have a "general overhaul" which could take several years.

D821 has been roaded from Bishops Lydeard to Old Oak Common and will now undergo an extensive exam, to identify and prioritise the work required to bring D821 back to full working order

Extract from the SVRLive
http://www.svrlive.com/diesel-hydraulics

October 14th 2017 

D821 Warship Greyhound was started today for the first time in a few years. One engine started at roughly 15:35 and the other was started about 16:25. Both took a little while to warm up but once warm where purring along nicely. The loco isn't quite ready to enter traffic just yet still a fair amount of stuff to be done on it. The future is looking bright though as once both engines where started they both ran for about an hour with small run up tests, the loco takes power and was driven into the shed and shut down.
A great day for the Diesel Traction Group.[/b]

Skip through to about 3 minutes to see where the Warship appears......
