what is it?
The steam railbuses of Bavarian Class MCCi were built between 1906–1908 for the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn) for suburban services in the Munich area. Seven units were produced, the coach bodies being manufactured by MAN and the engines by Maffei. The railbuses had a B'2' axle arrangement, thus two of the four axles were driven.
