I anglicised the N gauge version last year, using a Tomix japanese plastic bus, and brass overlays from Taylor Plastic Models. Wheelbase was spot on. Transfers were homemade.

... and if using magnets to follow wires in the road are too old fashioned for you, try:

The MIBA bus ended up with working head, tail, brake and indicator lights as well as full RC control.
The Unimog lowers its railway wheels. Full stories in this months MIBA magazine.

For the bits and pieces needed, look at http://www.mikroantriebe.de/

They have that at pecorama, the exhibition at the peco track factory. It adds loads of interest to layouts, and operates very realistically - stopping at red lights and so on.
