Also in the Barry Museum was 13 (TUH13), one of 48 Albion Nimbuses of 1961 bought for use on lightly trafficked routes. The Nimbus was popular on Guernsey and a few entered service in their native Scotland, but 48 for a major company was unique. This one is bodied by Harington, others were bodied by Weymann. In later years the body of one was fitted to a new Bristol LHS chassis. Alongside is Red & White 1950 Duple bodied Leyland Tiger PS1/1 Duple 23 (HWO323).
