Old hat. The UK had RoadRailers back in the 1930s.
Peter,
Has the bus survived to be on display somewhere?
Apparently not. Whereabouts unknown.

If you google “karrier ro-railer” you get a lot of interesting hits!
Another gem.
P.P.C.Co.R.R. 0-4-0 “Daisy”. Appears to be geared with vertical side cylinders. Anyone ever heard of it? (Google hasn’t.)
Fascinating. It almost looks like they tried to turn a truck into a loco.
PeterT I believe that type of locomotive was called a Cricket.

Editing this: Did a bit of digging on this at lunch time, why I don’t know? The “Daisy” belonged to the Peerless Portland Cement Company Railroad.

Well, I’ve seen a few G-1 Cricket live steam locos. Which came first, the Cricket or the Daisy?
Nice research, Rooster.
