    Hello,

    Quick question, are there any narrow gauge railbus' in England? Either historically or currently preserved/in bits? Like this one:

    Never seen anything like that!! Apart from Grahams Land rover conversion . But from a more practical aspect there are some really tidy Mercedes MTU 1980's built two car DMU's in Poland that are 750mm gauge but will, looking at the detail drawings of the power bogie, re gauge to 600mm.

    External envelope of the body shell is slightly larger than L&B stock but not by much.
