VW rail bus -- hobby crossover

I saw this pic posted on another forum that I frequent, devoted to VW buses, one of my other hobbies.

I've got tons of VW buses planned for my layout, and will have to convert one to model this prototype. What fun!

Here's similar rig, though not a VW:

Remember...it's for fun!
I like it! Looks like a fun project. Keep us up to date! That VW logo almost looks like the NY O&W logo.

It looks like it. the rtear wheels are offset to the outside so them can run along the railhead much like I've seen other track inspection vehicles.
Where would this be taken, Germany?
 
Ah - yes, the bus-like thing in the link (as opposed to the photo, which is clearly a VW bus) is from Aguas Calientes, where one boards the train to get to Machu Picchu. Been there, done that!

All I'm seeing is the link - no pic in the post.
