    I wondered that too recently and went looking, the most recent I could find was a youtube video from May 2024 of it running in apparent passenger service, but could well have been a populated test run?

    Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway - Taiwanese DL-34 - 4th May 2024

    Other than that, there's a video of it static in the shed last Christmas of 2025

    A replacement torque converter from another one of the class was being shipped from Taiwan. I don't know what the timescale for installing it, but the loan has been extended, I think for another 3 years after it enters service.
