The red railbuses, known as the "rescuers of the branch lines," were introduced in the 1950s. The FLEISCHMANN model is based on the VT 95 single-motor railbus with the shorter VB 142 sidecar. Today, DB still uses the VT 95 with the sidecar VB 142 as a museum vehicle. Since the sidecar did not have the equipment of a control cab coach with a driver's cab, the railbus could not be used for a permanently coupled push-pull train in a 2-part operation. As a result, it always ran with the "motor car ahead" and needed to be switched at the destination station.
