BRE-Leyland Railbus

Evening all Just as a diversion from layout building (or not) I thought I'd stick up some pictures of the railbus I've been working on. This is motorised...

BR AC Cars Railbus W79975 at Swindon works in September 1959. It had entered service in 1958, and later moved to Scotland, from where it was withdrawn at the end of 1967, and scrapped. Two examples have survived into preservation, although one of these is just an empty shell. The other survivor is currently (2022) being restored to operating condition, after storage for some time.. Original slide - property of Robert Gadsdon See - approximately - where this photo was taken

BR Waggon und Maschinenbau railbus E79961 at Braintree station, on a cold winters day in 1959. It was one of a class of five, and had entered service in 1958, and was withdrawn in 1967, and scrapped in 1968. The four remaining members of the class were all preserved. The station became a terminus in 1971, when the line from here to Bishops Stortford was closed. The signal box - which still displays 'Braintree and Bocking' - was demolished in the 1970s, and today (2021) the line is electrified.. Restored from an under-exposed fungus 'blue-stained' original.. Original slide - photographer unknown See where this photo was taken

None survived into preservation, but a similar-looking departmental example - the Elliot Track Recording Coach - has survived, and now has passenger seating fitted.

Albert Brenet: "SNCF" 1958

In 1925 New Zealand Railways decided to build two lightweight railcars, placed on a one-ton Model T Ford truck chassis, in Wellington’s railway workshops. Their construction was part of a national drive by railways to reduce the costs of operating on light traffic lines where there was only a limited number of passengers. The railcars only needed one person to run them, but a train needed at least three. After trials in the North Island, both vehicles were sent to the South Island to run in the Southland area. Rumour has it they were deliberately sent as far away from Wellington as possible.
