This unit was brought to the island in May 1978 after being purchased second-hand by the management from the Lochaber Narrow Gauge Railway in Scotland, later seeing use at Possil Park in Glasgow since 1973 when the system closed.  Overhauled to take part in the Year Of Railways in 1993 and wearing a blue livery, it was later repainted into national transport livery in 2002 of red and cream until 2011, when it received the standard department green at this time and is present in store requiring attention.  The fleet number is carried on the windscreen in black plastic stickers, these in fact being in place long before the number was actually allocated.
