Hi Markus:

The last photo is most interesting. I am not a railroad fan, but it certainly does not look very military like, nor like a normal civilian rail transport
Could it be some sort of crew bus or technical personnel bus used by railroad workers??

Hi Bill,

Trainspotting is not my hobby either but looks like a civilian diesel or petrol-engined railbus to me. Beute vehicle, according to the seller at
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... 3D1&_rdc=1

Bill, I think Markus has it right; a lot of (European) railways produced railbuses between (and after) the wars; they'd have been used for passenger 'trains' on smaller rural lines where there wasn't enough traffic to justify a 'proper' train.

Several photos from 5. /Eisenbahn Pio. Reg.3 (exp. eBay.de auctions; numbers in the pic names correspond to the auction N:os) including mildly interesting shots of lorries switching between road and track shoes.
