After sale by Taff-Ely 15, the last Metro-Scania, was surprisingly sold to the West Somerset Railway who used it as an exhibition vehicle. Originally operated in Taff-Ely blue livery, the lower half eventually was repainted as shown. The roof clearly wasn’t done as the painted out fleetname is still visible.
