West Ealing 07 Series Tamper

A quick look at Plasser, West Ealing this afternoon threw up a surprise. Parked out the front, but annoyingly adjacent to the hedge shielding it from the Greenford branch is a 07 series tamper. It's painted yellow with a white/grey roof and from the photo I took from the bridge, may be missing lighting components from at least the end closest to me. Given how few of these remain now (and all in private ownership) can anyone confirm which one this is and why it's appeared at Plasser? It is almost certainly not one of the Tube Lines/ Transplant examples as the cab I could see looks to be as per the BR built machines.

Bryan, many thanks. I presume it's moved for repairs?

Not 100% sure but Training has been mentioned.
