The red rail buses operated as "Rescuers of the classanch lines" in the fifties. The FLEISCHMANN model is based on the single-motor railbus VT 95 with the sidecar VB 142, which is shorter than the motor car. Today the DB still uses the VT 95 with the sidecar VB 142 as a museum vehicle. Since the sidecar had no equipment of the so-called driving trailer with driver’s cab, the rail bus could not not be used as a permanently coupled push pull train in 2-part operation and therefore always ran with „motor car ahead“. So the motor car had to be changed in the destination station.
