Mk3 buffet for West Somerset Railway

The West Somerset Railway have recently purchased ex MK3 buffet No. 10205 from Porterbrook Leasing. The vehicle is to be used at Minehead station to provide static catering facilities and will replace the present Mk1 vehicle used in the station area.

Prior to handover to the WSR, the coach was repainted in Great Western brown and cream livery at Alstom's Oxley paintshop and is seen outside the facility before shipment south on 22 February 2007. The vehicle retains its original Mk3 bogies and running gear.
