In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, British Rail and British Leyland undertook a program to develop a new railbus. One prototype of five different designs in the Leyland Experimental Vehicle (LEV) program were built, including one, LEV 2, specifically for export to the US. According to the website traintesting.com, the LEV’s “combine the worst features of rail and bus”. LEV 2 was conveyed to the FRA, and somehow ended up making an appearance on the Lackawanna Valley Railroad in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The unattractive car still exists at the Connecticut Trolley Museum.
