Took two pics of the Brekina Railbus.

Seems the first axle of the rear bogie is powered. (Cant remember what I found inside back then)

Hi Gerold

HOLY COW ! :shocked:

... A sane Member owns a model of it !!

That's gotta be a 1st

I've always thought double-enders look really C

L ...

... you CAN drive the contraption from both ends, right ?

2 steering wheels ? :dope:

Hope you've got your reversing light CVs programmed properly Gerold ! :brill:

"sane" and "member" is a contradiction in terms.

Please make up your mind.

Jose (not sane).

" Please make up your mind "

Hi Jose :pimp:

Mind ?

I can't even decide on a lunch order ! :java:

You thought that all those ridiculously L O N G stretch-limos were a mooodern thing ? :shades:

Photo : Jose arriving outside the Florida N.M.R.A. Convention, circa late 1940s !

Note all the crushed flashbulbs, trampled underfoot by the waiting paparazzi !!

" Not me ... Straitjacket missing "

Jose

It was nice of 'them' to let you wear a proper jacket arriving for your fans !

Talkin' of straightjackets ...

... did the designer of this rail/roadie need one ?

The 'Auto Railer' from Google Images has been up before I seem to recall ...

... but those double-ended rail contraptions need more promotion ! :bg:

Si, sorry, missed your questions...

No, this thing is single directional.

A plain road bus from the factory, with those crazy bogies shoved underneath...

Re lighting, not sure now, if I even installed lights back then... memory is dim on this.

I do like that buses typically 'streamlined looking' body from the period ! :brill:

It has a very similar looking front/rear end ...

... to what I consider as 'that DB diesel look' ...

... just need the 'cream & red' paint split !!

It'd look just like my '50s 'Selmer' geeetar amp !
