Title: G scale Railbus
Post by: Alex Butner on October 27, 2009, 11:43:52 PM
Hey Mr. Bach-Man, could you ask Bachmann if they could make a Large scale version of the On30 rail bus? That would be nice if you could pass it to them. Thanks.

Nah, if you're going to do a railbus type thing, do the EBT's M-1.

i will solidly back your nomination Kevin.  A one of a kind piece of equipment that helped the EBT railroad survive into the 50's.   "seen one railbus, you you've seen them all"....and yet certainly would be at home on a system that dreamed of surviving.

Why not make both? The only problem I would see with the M-1 rail bus is that it could require massive curves and I am an indoor modeler. Otherwise, it's a great idea.
