Found a site that lists this as "1934 Mercedes DR rail car" although the body style looks abit earlier.

A little more information: it is a Mercedes-Benz Typ Stuttgart from 1934, built for the Deutsche Reichsbahngesellschaft as a Gleiskraftwagen (rail car), developed by Ferdinand Porsche, used for railway inspections.
