The back one is literaly just a painted truck trailer with stuff on it. The front unit have a lot more going on. All the glass section and interior in the front are real. If i remember correctly the real driver is hidden in a pannel somewhere.

I remember as a small child watching this. Years later I tried to find out more about it. With no internet and the public library was so far out of date, that I gave it up as something I imagined. Pure accident I found this clip and I knew immediately what it was. Thank you for posting this and I see why so many had forgotten about it. It was much more exciting through a Childs eye than a 53 year old man.

Fun fact: the prop bus is actually two vehicles linked together at the articulated section, each with their own driving cab. When it was moved to filming locations, the two sections would be driven separately, then linked together for the film shoot. There was an emergency lever to separate the two halves in case things got out of control. It was NOT an easy thing to drive!

[@yourseatatthetable]

I remember watching the show when I was a kid. Over the years since I have thought, on occasion, that both the US and Australia interstate systems and road systems would have supported large 'bus trains', just as they support 'truck trains', but they never made an attempt that I know of.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

That’s cause private car ownership is still strong. Now younger millennials might make such a thing a reality as many of them don’t own private vehicles

[@yourseatatthetable]

@@matthewcaughey8898 Geographics also plays a role would be my guess. I live in Iowa and outside of the few larger cities, one's transportation is very limited, including things like Uber. As a teen, I lived in a small town about 20 miles from the state capital, which is where most of us worked. No busses, Uber would bankrupt you even if you could find someone willing to drive that far, not that we had Uber in the 80's. For all that, frankly I can't blame the younger generation. If you live where public transportation is available, forgoing car ownership is understandable. The expense of having one alone is considerable

Im Film war kein Neoplan Jumbcruiser, wobei dieser vieleicht, aufgrund des Konzeptes) ein wenig die Vorlage war. Angeblich soll es ein umgebaute LKW gewesen sein, der mit doppelachsigen Dolly und Anhänger "zusammengeschustert" wurde.

[@pfarraldcash6095]

Ja, die Betonung liegt auf "zusammengeschuster ".😄 Ich finde aber die Idee für die damalige Zeit sehr schön. Das ist ein typisch amerikanisches Ding, Sachen einfach umzusetzen, wo man sich bei uns die meisten Gedanken um die Sinnhaftigkeit macht. Alles muss zweckmäßig sein bis in die tiefste Faser, dafür aber hat man dann keine amüsanten Frankensteinchen. Den Unterhaltungswert haben nun mal überwiegend die außergewöhnliche Dinge.

Couple of years later, in 1979 N.B.C. TV. TRIED to make "SUPERTRAIN" about a Super wide guage at 20 'FEET!!, Atomic Streamliner that ran on its new Transcontinental track from New York City West to Los Angeles, as their new weekly series that would run against A.B.C. TV 📺 "LOVE BOAT 🚢 😍 !!" But "SUPERTRAIN" ran only for its 2 hour Premiere movie, and 8 Episodes that you can now see here on Y.T. And NBC STUDIOS spent over 5 Million dollars to build the special sets for the exterior of the train with only the Atomic locomotive, and only the 2 leading coaches. And they also had the Burbank live steam company called "RAILROAD SUPPLY CORPORATION", with president the late Chet Peterson and his staff members, build the 2 large scale ⚖ model. With the extra large outdoor model built using the familiar and popular 1:8 Scale for 1&1/2"=1', that is used by the live steam locomotive 🚂 modelers all over the world 🌎. And the smaller studio model for indoor shots built at 1:16th scale at 3/4"=1' that uses 3&1/2" guage track on elevated fenceposts, or trestles made of either wood, and steel, and concrete, (like the famous little 0-4-0t named "TICH" designed by Mr. L.B.S.C. from Great Britain 🇬🇧!!). HOWEVER, the "smaller" SUPERTRAIN" model ran on special tracks that are 15" in guage-width. Also the large 1:8 model track was 30" wide. But sadly the large model was wrecked when it derailed from a bridge. But the smaller model survived and was sold to a private collector but it is in storage but can't be seen. Also I want to build an H.O. scale model of "SUPERTRAIN" with a track that is especially built to the Arcitechtural scale of 1/8th" with U.S. Fractional Dimensions and the track will be 2&1/2" wide, and still use regular H.O. scale parts for details, and interior sets and passengers. But I had to wait until I found a house 🏠 with a very large basement to build this very unique "SUPERTRAIN "!! And please watch the Y.T. Special music videos with the 3 different opening music themes. O.K.!!!!! GOD BLESS THE U.S.A 🇺🇸 🙌 🙏 ❤ AND ALL OUR FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD 🌎!! BE BLESSED WITH WISDOM!! FAITH!! HOPE!!
