Almost two months. Yeah.

Before making rail equipment, Budd produced automotive parts until 1932 with the introduction of a self-propelled coach. The Budd "Rail Diesel Car" (RDC) or "Buddliner" was a more convenient way of transporting passengers, oppose to having a whole locomotive pull the cars. Instead, the RDC could hold its own power and passengers. Different variants were produced, ranging from powered cars, to Rail Post Office units, and baggage. After World War 2, the Budd entered production with better developed engines, that being a 275hp V6 Detroit Diesel Series 110. The company broke the "railbus" idea by making the RDC 85 feet long and made of aluminum/stainless steel.

Controls:
1 & 2 activate headlights
3 & 4 activate tailing lights
6 activates center lights, pretty useless
7 starts up trailing car
8 starts up main car
Landing Gear closes doors
The door system was a royal pain in the butt. Seriously.

Creds:
TrainDude for trucks
Mostly for stripes

Enjoy!
