Interesting railbus on German eBay....

[Zerogee]

Spotted this while idly skimming German evilBay.... an interesting scratchbuild, looks nice from a distance but the close-up photos show it's a bit rough in places... does anyone recognise it as being of a particular prototype?

I asume it is based on this one.

Similar Steve.
Nice model - be interesting to see what it goes for.

As I recall, the original Dietz model (a very desirable object) was fiendishly expensive - maybe £1500 - so the same thing not at all badly customised for the apparent bid price is a bargain.

Indeed - the bogies look particularly hamfisted, but at EUR 91, you could have a professional repaint job done for £100 or two* and still be quids in. (Not that I'm bidding as I have recently exhausted most of this year's budget on some R5 points and a couple of coaches).

* A few German ng lines had a particularly nice green and beige livery instead of the ubiquitous red/cream and that would go well

Yep, as everyone says, that's what is based upon:

Couple of years back Stockers posted a video demonstrating the sound features....great gearchange sounds.....

I did indeed Keith - it made a brilliant model even better.
I'll go see what I can find.
