The 1933 MAN and the 1935 PLM are very similar, and a bit odd. I've never seen a railbus with a cupola in the center like that.

My IPad won't let me post photos on this website but if you follow the link below you'll find a Mane 2 foot rail bus photo on a postcard. I think it looks pretty darn cool.

Before anybody thinks that I ran out of them, here are some more:
1937 DR open coach

1937 NH steam railcar

Power truck from the above railcar

1940 Sewell railcar

1947 "streamlined" French railcars. Ever seen a jalousie-type windshield?.

1950 Mack

1950 DB convertible railbus

From the Isle of Sylt. I find it real neat:

1959 SNCF. Jouef made (makes?) an HO scale version.

1967 LIRR railbus

And tha't all folks!. More next time. Jose.

I love that 1940 Sewell. There's some real craftsmanship just in the "cowcatcher". The vehicle's overall look is reminiscent of a classic streamlined steam locomotive.

I like that first pix. Family going for what looks like a Sunday ride. Was going to say in England, but the Driver and Conductor don't look English --at least back in that era. But the water tank looks right. Perhaps a place like India, where English influence was heavy.
Wherever--that Ford is a real ''scorcher'' I'll bet. All those windows mean lots of seats, and even though most are empty today, that old girl can't be geared to do more than 10 MPH---If that.
