![]() 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. When Con-Cor decided to do research for a model of a Railbus, we found that some of the most famous of all Railbuses, the Rio Grande Southern's "Galloping Geese" were still around and some are still running in tourist service. Our model of the Galloping Goose is 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. Normal Retail price is $198.98 for the Dual Mode DC / DCC version.** We do not have any schedule for when we will re-run the Sold Out Roadnames.Note Current on Scotty's 2009 Summer Sale for only $134.44Note: List below is not updated after every sale, so your choice might be sold out by now.0001-094170 Undecorated((Silver, No Lettering) (only handful left) 0001-094171 Rio Grande Southern #5 0001-094172 Denver & Rio Grande Western 0001-094173 Santa Fe (Sorry Sold out)** 0001-094174 Pennsylvania (Sorry Sold out)** 0001-094175 Great Northern (Sorry sold out)** 0001-094176 Union Pacific (Sorry sold out)** 0001-094177 Southern Pacific (Sorry Sold out)** 0001-094178 New York Central (Sorry Sold out)** 0001-094179 Maintenance of Way (only handful left) Photos of "HO" versions follow, for paint scheme reference only:
