    You may well be right Tom, but of course you could say the same thing about a Routemaster bus, and I doubt too many would say there should be less of them.

    For the Foxfield pacer would be ideal for the Kent and East Sussex Railway. So I am going to use that Hackneyed expression, "Colonel Stephens would have used one".

    Indeed. The bodies for station shelters, engines for generators, and the frames for bridges or water towers.

    Should definitely be less of them! I worked on many in my days as a professional bus restorer and they are complex machines, with a number being poorly maintained. They also don't take well to not being used regularly.

    That did make me chuckle. Colonel Stephens would have done exactly the same!

    routemaster vs Pacer , one much loved , one almost universally derided

    one that continues to provide joy to many through preservation, one which is not finding its place and at worst is being scrapped

    Yes, because I have travelled out of Bradford Interchange on one. The experience was made more interesting by the rain inside the unit.

    Some of the first generation BR diesel rail-buses survived into preservation, including a couple on the K&WVR. Are they still used?

    One used to be on the NNR c. 1980 as I had a ride on it, I'm sure. I think it was one of the W&M machines of which four survive and as you correctly say, two are at the K&WVR (according to the UKPRSL) - E79962 and M79960. The same source also suggests that two of the AC Cars ones exist.

    I did have the idea of a 'Pacer' chassis being used as the basis for a re-creation of something early, but that'd be silly...

    Was there a single vehicle version of the 'Pacer ' ( even as a prototype )? Cant imagine it being too difficult to make one if that met the needs of a particular railway better ...

    I think readers of this thread asking about further details for the surviving First Generation railbuses and Second Generation prototypes will find this page (and associated links) useful:

    You don't need to preserve a Pacer for that experience; a Co. Donegal railcar will do for that.
