German Double Deck Railbus

I remember seeing a picture on the net of a German Double Deck Railbus which resembled a Double Decker Bus. However I recently tried to find a picture and gen about where they are used with a view to making a wee trip. Does anybody on here have any gen on them and indeed any pictures they could post on here?

Cheers

BR670? That'd be my guess.

I was going to say that in the Harry Potter films they went one better with a triple decker bus but seriously, I've never heard of this railbus. However, if you decide to go to Germany and you're anywhere near Dusseldorf I'd recommend a trip to Wuppertal to travel on the unique (yes, I believe it is unique in the world) Schwebebahn. It's a train suspended from an overhead rail and I've never seen anything else like it in my life.

There's apparently a couple or so running, and a few sitting around, and one in a museum. Hard to say if it's more railbus or more RDC, though.
