Hi James, Carsten posts at the german 1000steine.de/forum regularly. I don't know, if he posts on lugnet? I will ask him. I just found a picture of the "real" Schienenbus. Schienenbus means literaly Track-bus/coach - a mixture between bus and train. (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
