When Anthony Brown, General Manager of West Coast Wilderness Railway<\/a><\/strong> started looking for an option to replace their on-rail and on-road vehicle, they turned to Bus 4×4.<\/p>\n

The two year search to replace their modified Land Rover culminated in a Fuso Canter hi-rail 4×4 minibus, fitted with a road-rail kit in Western Australia and built by Bus 4×4 with luxury bus seating.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As Anthony said, \u201cThe problem with our Land Rover modified vehicle was that it wasn\u2019t particularly comfortable on either rail or road\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to keep doing these popular exploration trips, but we needed more passenger accommodation, a higher-degree of comfort and better on-rail and off-road performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

The finished WCWR vehicle can seat a crew of two and 12 passengers. Bus 4×4 has kitted the vehicle with a bull bar, spare wheel carrier, front beacon, LED and fog lights including individual lights at all entry\/exit points.<\/p>\n

Its black \u2018raptor\u2019 coating will be enhanced by graphic sign-writing when it arrives in Tasmania in January 2022. The bus is expected to be in service in the first quarter of 2022.<\/p>\n

WCWR has a busy schedule planned for its latest acquisition: boat, bus (road and rail) one-day tours and two different half-day tours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This custom bus is the last of the body build by Bus 4×4. We are concentrating on our 4×4 conversions of Toyota Hiaces and Toyota Coasters for for RV customers, fleets and mining companies.<\/p>\n
