I am looking for a diesel railcar such as used in the late 1950's and early 60's by GWR. I think a nickname for these was the "flying banana".
Here is an example in Wikipedia from Ben Brooksbank. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_railcars#/media/File:Tenbury_Wells_Station,_with_ex-Great_Western_Diesel_railcar_geograph-2389817-by-Ben-Brooksbank.jpg

Naturally, since this IS an N-Gauge forum, I mean in N-gauge. I have only seen Graham Farish models of these for sale on e-pay(you know who I mean) and none currently, just a shell. Did any other manufacturer produce these in N-gauge?

Langley do/did kits for an Express Parcels version and a two car passenger version - however, both require a Farish railcar chassis.

I had the Langley twin car kit back in the late 70s when it took a cheap LifeLike chassis which was dreadful. Mine ended up with a stretched Minitrix Warship chassis. Heavy whitemetal lumps but with the decent chassis it ran well enough.

B H E did a 3D printed body of the early streamlined Rail Car and the Twin units but I dont think they have any left now and now `Ray has passed away his sons are struggling to keep the business going .

The Farish one is very good. If you wait patiently one will turn up as plenty were made. You could try the big secondhand people line Anoraks anonymous or Rails. Try to get one with a flywheel as these are superb runners. The early ones without flywheel were not so good.

How about this one a few items down for £75

@Maurice  I suppose as you're US based  they'll not turn up often (if at all) on your native ebay so you will have to look further afield.

3rd row down and far right.
I'm sitting on a goldmine!!

Shapeways did eight or more variants with valanced and unvalanced bogies.  Not sure who the designer was but the ones I have were very accurate and could be mounted on Tomix chassis.

They were on Shapeways by a chap called Ivan ,

I can't remember the reference number but the Tomix chassis fits well and runs very well indeed. This is an early Farish rail car. I got rid of the old chassis which had many issues and dropped a Tomix one in.

I have a Farish one with a flywheel, bought from @dannyboy of this parish. Lovely runner.

Farish, parish.... maybe I should start writing limericks!

There was an old man from afar,
Who bought himself a railcar,
It was made by Graham Farish,
In the old Poole parish,
Supplied by dannyboy from another afar.

Best I could do in a couple of minutes. 

I'd suggest not giving up your day job but, as far as I know, you haven't got one so stick to the 'Groaners' maybe
