IF you decide to go the “DCC” Sound Decoder route, (NOTE: Decoder not included with model) then just imagine it now, this neat little railbus drifting down the track on your layout, honking at the bystanders, bell ringing at crossings, and all with the rumble of a small gas engine in the background.
Railbuses had their origins in the 1920’s and 1930’s when mail and passengers had to be delivered to remote branch line areas. On “slow” business days or in the off-season when business was light they took the place of an expensive steam locomotive and crew. Many railroads had Railbuses in one version or another. They were used on both the branch lines of the major railroads and on the local smaller railroads and narrow gauge lines.
