Locally developed rail buses were tested by SLR. One set is made out of two road passenger motor buses connected to run from both ends like a DMU. Amazingly this was seen at Pattipola, the highest rail station in the country ( 6000 feet Above Mean Sea Level) on an excursion tour few years ago. Few units are deployed in remote less demand routes but not on the hill country line due to low power genaration on engines. Picture was taken in year 2000 summer. 
