Galloping Goose passenger railbus - real world MOC - front

This rail vehicles is a type of railcar called a Galloping Goose, and is slightly inspired by seven real vehicles built and used by the Rio Grande Southern narrow gauge railway back in the 1930s to 1950s, when the little railroad was torn up. Six still exist in original form, with one being a reconstructed replica. These machines are really something Doctor Frankenstein would love - a bus body or boxcar welded to a road vehicle (usually a Pierce Arrow limousine) for the front end, with train wheels added underneath.

My interpretation of this type of doodlebug is the blue passenger version, even though the real-world ones are all silver / light gray painted. As a play feature, you can open the doors to the drivers compartment and place a driver at the wheel. The back half the vehicle is not meant to be accessible.

NOTE:
This vehicle's front half was inspired by Hachiroku24 and his Indiana Jones "Raiders" staff car MOC: www.flickr.com/photos/hachiroku24/47106515492/in/photostr...
