Product Features and Details
RENFE 591.500 series "Ferrobus" two-car diesel multiple unit in "Regionales" livery | with DCC digital sound decoder.
The 591 series Ferrobuses shaped Spanish local and regional transport for many years and, due to the limited electrification of the network, were in service nationwide. With 300 hp and a top speed of 90 km/h, they represented an important modernization step for the RENFE fleet in the 1960s and often replaced very old vehicles. Although the series was retired in 1988, the newly founded U.N. de Regionales later refurbished, repainted, and put back into service two two-car units of the 500 series sub-series.
