Jž 812 Šinobus
JŽ series 812 was a diesel motor rail bus operated by Yugoslavian Railways. Originally it was the German Uerdingen rail bus produced by Goša FOM for Yugoslav Railways (JŽ).
In the early 1950s, Yugoslav Railways decided to import a large number of diesel multiple units for traffic on local railway lines. The decision was made on the Uerdinger Schienenbus VT 95 series.
Having performed well in service, it was decided to purchase the license for mass production. The production started at Goša FOM wagon factory from Smederevska Palanka and the first domestic-made rail buses were delivered to Yugoslav Railways in silver livery.
A total of 270 diesel multiple units were produced by Goša FOM until 1969, which contributed to the replacement of steam locomotives in local passenger traffic.
