"Ready to Run" model of the famous Galloping Goose Railbus. Both the orginal "Freight version" and the "Tourist Version" have been available, but are currently sold out except for a few of the "HOn3" versions. Check these web pages for current updates on these models that were very popular.

Our original models of the Galloping Goose are a faithful representation of the original freight and passenger version of Goose #5, which first hit the rails in 1933. Number 5 was virtually identical to Geese #3 and #4 which were built a bit earlier. Goose #5 presently lives in Dolores, Colorado, and is in full operating condition. Other Geese can be found in Telluride, Colorado, at Knott's Berry Farm and at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden Colorado. Other Railbuses can be found in train museums around the U.S.A. such as the one in St. Louis.

Details on the "Tourist Version can be found at this link.

Con-Cor plans to Re-Run these two versions of the HO Galloping Goose in the summer of 2008, so you can also place a "Pre-Order" for them also directly with us.

Goose Extra Features !

Not all final details and features of the Pierce Arrow Goose are available as yet, as the model is still in the design stages, but we can tell you the following:

#1 ) The Goose will come with the standard spoked pilot, but will include an alternate Snow plow that can be mounted by the modeler if he/she so chooses. (Photo shows plow mounted on later 1950's version of Goose with Bus Body)

#2 ) Model will come with a dual mode "DC" /"DCC" ready.

This means "out of the box", the model will operate in either Traditional 16v Analog DC mode, or with a "DCC" controller. (But no sound).

#3 ) Mechanism comes with built in 8 pin Standard NMRA DCC connector on the PC board,ready for DCC Sound Decoder installation.

IF you decide to go the "DCC" Sound Decoder route, then just imagine it now, this neat little railbus drifting down the track on your layout, honking at the bystanders, bell ringing at crossings, and all with the rumble of a small gas engine in the background. (Well, maybe that is a bit overdone, but Model Railroader Magazine was so impressed they added an animated version of the Goose Sound to their Website for viewing!)

Some Background on Railbuses:

Railbuses had their origins in the 1920's and 1930's when mail and passengers had to be delivered to remote branch line areas. On "slow" business days or in the off-season when business was light they took the place of an expensive steam locomotive and crew.

Many railroads had Railbuses in one version or another. They were used on both the branch lines of the major railroads and on the local smaller railroads and narrow gauge lines.
