Evans Auto-Railers

This 1930 print ad posted on Dieselpunk made me curious about the Evans Auto-Railer, and I found a late 1930's newsreel excerpt on YouTube about the vehicle.  Although it apparently did not succeed as a bus, the concept is still very much alive in maintenance vehicles at rail yards.
