rsr[25] - Diesel railbus

rsr[25] - Diesel railbus
E79960 was built in 1958 by Waggon und Maschinenbau [Germany] for British Railways, as part of an order for five vehicles, they were intended for branch lines with extremely low passenger numbers.
Currently liveried in BR Green, with white "speed whiskers". It weighs 15tons and can manage 55mph.
Owned by the North Norfolk Railway.
Most of the lines worked by the railbuses were closed as a result of the Beeching axe, with all the vehicles being withdrawn by the end of the 1960s.
